2 tablespoons organic olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup fresh organic thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon organic black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to 400°F
  2. Remove stems and scrape black gills out of the inside of the mushroom caps. Brush the outsides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Turn back over and spread about 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce inside each cap. Sprinkle with mozzarella and layer with sliced sausage.
  4. Place caps on grill and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.
  5. Watch carefully… as they cook, the mushrooms soften and begin to flatten out, so that the fillings begin to slide off! This is when you know they are done to perfection.
  6. Take off grill. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
  7. These can be made a day or two ahead, the leftovers heat up wonderfully in a toaster oven or even in the microwave.
