  4. Grill mushrooms, hollow side down, until partially cooked (about 5 minutes) and set aside.
  5. Combine reserved mushroom stems and trimmings with remaining olive oil and garlic and toss to coat well.
  6. Grill, tossing frequently, until lightly cooked (about 5 minutes).
  7. Finely chop the mushroom pieces and garlic, either by hand or with a food processor.
  8. Combine in medium-sized bowl with the breadcrumbs, cheese, sherry and herbs (if using).
  9. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  10. Stuff into the mushroom caps, mounding up the filling and pressing with your fingers to pack tightly.
