Ingredients
- Chestnut mushrooms
- Cream cheese
- Gratin cheese
1. Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the chestnut mushrooms using a brush or kitchen paper. Carefully remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills, creating enough space for the filling.
2. Fill the Mushrooms
Fill each mushroom generously with cream cheese and top with a layer of gratin cheese.
3. Cook on the Barbecue
Place the mushrooms on the barbecue using indirect heat at approximately 170°C (340°F) and close the lid. Cook gently until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is fully melted and golden brown.
4. Serve
Carefully remove the mushrooms from the barbecue and allow them to cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper if desired, and garnish with finely chopped chives for a fresh finishing touch.
