Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 cremini mushrooms stems removed
  • 0.33 cup basil pesto
  • 24 fresh mozzarella balls bite-size
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Spoon a little pesto into each mushroom cap and tuck a mozzarella ball on top.
  2. Thread the stuffed mushrooms carefully onto skewers, cap up.
  3. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill over medium heat 4-5 minutes per side until mushrooms soften and cheese melts.
  5. Serve warm with extra pesto for dipping.

Notes

Thread through the firm side of the cap so the filling stays put.
