(Note: If using a charcoal grill, cooking time will be decreased a bit, if cooking during the “high-heat” of the coals.)

- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- sea salt or kosher salt (about ½ tsp)
- 2 portabella mushrooms (stems removed)
