Take 1/4 Tbsp of butter and push into the center of each burger; seal. Grill on BBQ or inside grill until desired doneness. Right before burgers are done top with a slice of cheese. Drizzle mushrooms with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Grill mushrooms 1 minute per side or until tender. Top cooked burgers with two mushroom slices each.
