Ingredients
  

1 pound large white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and fragrant.

    Marinate the Mushrooms: Place the cleaned mushrooms in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring each mushroom is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, allow them to marinate for up to 2 hours.

      Prepare the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a grill pan indoors, place it on the stove over medium-high heat to preheat.

        Grill the Mushrooms: Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Arrange the mushrooms on the grill, gill-side down. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks.

          Add the Cheese: When the mushrooms are almost done grilling, generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over each one. Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.

            Serve: Carefully remove the mushrooms from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for that extra zing.

              Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 10 minutes | 30-35 minutes (including marinating) | Serves 4 as a delightful side dish.

                - Presentation Tips: Arrange the grilled mushrooms in a circular pattern on the platter for an appealing look. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil for shine and serve the lemon wedges artfully around for easy access.
