Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Our favorite way to enjoy grilled Portobello mushrooms is by stuffing them with a combination of melted cheeses and toppings. For this recipe, we decided to turn our love for Jalapeño Poppers into a stuffing for the juicy Grilled Portobello Mushrooms. The result was a delicious combination of the earthy, meaty texture of the mushroom and the creamy, spicy flavor of the Jalapeño Popper.
A stuffed Portobello mushroom dish is an excellent way to satisfy everyone's taste buds, including those who are not fond of vegetarian meals.

How to Make Portobello Mushroom "Steaks"
These mushrooms can be cooked through grilling, baking, or air frying. When using the air fryer, set it to 400 degrees and cook for 8 minutes. Make sure to check on the mushrooms every few minutes, all air fryers are a little different, so cooking times may vary.
Preparing Jalapeño Popper Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steaks
When I'm getting ready to cook or grill portobello mushrooms, I always start by giving them a good rinse under some cold water to make sure they're nice and clean. Once they're all clean, I grab a paper towel and pat them dry. After that, I remove the stems (save them for an omelet) and give the mushrooms a good spray of cooking spray. To make them even more delicious, I like to season them with some adobo before tossing them on the grill.
Place the Portobello Mushrooms face down on the grill over direct heat. Leave them there for one to two minutes. Flip over and leave on the direct heat for about 30 seconds. Then move the mushrooms to the indirect heat. There will be a lot of liquid in the middle of the mushrooms, leave that, it keeps the mushroom from drying out.
To make the filling: Mix together cheese, cream cheese, and chopped jalapeños. Spoon the cheese into the mushrooms and put the cover of the grill down to melt the cheese. It takes about 5 minutes - depending on how hot the grill is.
When the cheese is nicely melted, move the mushroom to a serving place and sprinkle with your favorite topping. Since this is a Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushroom, we like to add chopped cilantro, green onions, more chopped jalapeños, creama, and even chopped bacon.
NOTE: You can add a smoky flavor to your Jalapeño Popper Grilled Portobello Mushrooms. Just place the jalapeño peppers on the grill and char the skin to roast them. Put the roasted peppers in a container or paper bag. This will help them steam and make it easy to pull the outside skin off. Let the peppers cool. Remove the skin and cut off the stem. Finally, chop the peppers and mix with the cheese mixture.
