Grill the caps, rounded side down for 8 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender and hot. Turn them only once. Choose your preferred method to grill: BBQ, grill pan, oven….

Step 3-

Assemble the Minions! Just kidding – assemble the mushrooms! While the mushrooms are cooking, thinly slice the brie cheese (2 pieces per mushroom should do). Wash and dry the arugula.

Add a few slices of tomato and serve. Enjoy!
