1
Prepare the Portabella Mushrooms
Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and lightly brush the caps with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on the caps.
2
Grill the Mushrooms
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the portabella mushrooms on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear.
3
Melt the Mozzarella
While the mushrooms are grilling, slice the fresh mozzarella into thick slices. Once the mushrooms are done, place a slice of mozzarella on top of each mushroom cap and close the grill lid. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
4
Assemble the Dish
Remove the portabella mushrooms from the grill. Top each mushroom with a generous spoonful of housemade tomato jam and garnish with fresh basil.
5
Serve
Serve immediately as an appetizer or a main dish. Enjoy!
