    Great Ideas. I have been looking for more things to grill other than meat. Thanks again

    I've done various combinations that involve the following:

    1) Marinate them in italian dressing
    2) Grill them gills down for about 4 minutes
    3) Turn them over and place goat cheese, feta cheese, provolone, you name it, and grill another few minutes.
    4) Instead of or in addition to the cheese, grill some thick slices of a sweet onion and then place one slice on the mushroom after you flip it over.
    5) Spread some canned tomatoes and lime and chilies on the gill side before adding cheese or onion. (I can see the blue and yellow can in my mind, but the brand name escapes me.)

    Hopefully, you get the idea. Anything that you might like with a mushroom, you can probably put on the portabella after you grill the gill side and flip them over. Good luck!

    Carefully scrape out the black gills and discard.

    Just as Tom suggested, I like this method. Clean the Portabellas and drizzle a little EVOO on them. Sprinkle a little rub and then some sliced romas and basil. Top it off with some cheese, I used Fontina, and then a little more rub.
