Ingredients

  • tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
  • 0.3 cup butter melted ()
  • 1.5 teaspoons thyme leaves fresh chopped
  •  garlic cloves divided minced
  • 0.3 cup green onions chopped
  • 0.3 cup olive oil extra-virgin
  • 1.5 teaspoons oregano fresh chopped
  • 1.5 cups panko bread crumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • ounces parmesan cheese grated
  • large portabello mushrooms stemmed
  • ounces mozzarella cheese shredded

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • whisk
  • grill

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 1 garlic clove in small bowl for marinade. Using spoon, scrape out gills from mushrooms and place mushrooms on rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Brush marinade over both sides of mushrooms, arrange hollow side up, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare barbecue (medium heat).
  4. Mix panko, next 5 ingredients, and remaining 2 garlic cloves in medium bowl.
  5. Drizzle butter and remaining teaspoon vinegar over panko mixture and toss. Divide panko mixture among mushrooms, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges and packing down slightly.
  6. Place mushrooms on grill, stuffing side up; cover grill and cook until cheese melts and juices bubble at edges of mushrooms, rearranging mushrooms occasionally for even cooking (do not turn over), about 6 minutes.
  7. *Panko can be used in any recipe calling for dry (not fresh) breadcrumbs — such as eggplant parmigiana, chicken tenders, or meatloaf. It is available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.
