3. Meanwhile, preheat the grill. Place mushrooms on a grill tray and spray with oil. Cook under the grill, stalk side down, for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden. Turn and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Add cheese to 4 of the mushrooms and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Transfer to serving plates.
