- 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.

- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter mixture over both sides of the mushroom caps. Season with salt and pepper.

- Remove the mushrooms from the grill and place them on a plate or serving platter.
- Top each mushroom with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese, followed by slices of tomato and torn basil leaves.
- Return the mushrooms to the grill and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the mushrooms from the grill and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
