Method

Serve warm with crusty bread.

Grill over hot coals, turning frequently, until the cheese is melted and mushrooms are soft.

Brush the outside of the mushrooms with olive oil.

Cap with the second mushroom and secure with a skewer.

Add one tablespoon of vermouth, some garlic, thyme, and grated cheese to each base mushroom.

Lay one mushroom of each equal-sized pair gill-side up and season with salt and pepper.

Remove mushroom stems and score the gill side without cutting through.

Preheat the barbecue.
