Ingredients
- 2 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- Extra-virgin coconut or olive oil
- 6 tablespoons basil pesto (homemade or pre-made)
- 2 slices Italian prosciutto
- 1 ball buffalo mozzarella, cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch-thick slices
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Set one burner of a gas grill to high, or place a grill pan on the stove with the burner set to medium-high heat.
- Rub the cap side of the mushrooms with oil, place on the grill, or grill pan cap side up, and grill for about 5 minutes, until the caps begin to brown slightly.
- Flip over and grill, gill side up, for another 5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the grill or burner. Leave the heat on.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons of pesto onto the gill side of one mushroom, add 1 slice prosciutto, arranging it to fit neatly in the gill cup, and then top with half the mozzarella slices. Repeat with the other mushroom.
- Return the grill pan to the stove top for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.
