Instructions
- Step 1: Clean 4 large portobello mushroom caps by wiping with a damp cloth and removing stems. Set aside.

- Step 5: Spoon the goat cheese and spinach mixture evenly into each portobello cap, pressing lightly to fill.
- Step 6: Preheat your smoker to 225°F using apple or cherry wood chips for a mild fruity smoke. Place the stuffed mushrooms directly on the grill grate.

- Step 8: Remove from the smoker and serve warm as a smoky vegetarian appetizer or side dish.
