Easy and tasty Portobello mushroom burger, topped with fried onions and cheese.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp. dried Italian herbs
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 hamburger buns
  • 2 caps or portobello mushroom
  • 2 tsp. mustard
  • 2 slices provolone (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 small onion (cut into rings and fried)

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Cover the mushrooms with marinade on both sides. (For best results, marinate the mushrooms for at least 2 hours.)

  2. 2

    IF USING AN OUTDOOR GRILL: Brush grate with oil. Grill the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes on each side. Use the leftover marinade for basting. 

  3. 3

    IF USING A STOVETOP: Cook mushrooms in a frying pan covered with a tight lid, on medium-low heat, for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the mushroom. If your mushrooms are small, they will need 3 minutes on each side.

  4. 4

    While the mushrooms are cooking, toast the buns. You may choose to skip this step.

  5. 5

    Spread 1 tsp. of mustard on each bun.

  6. 6

    Once the mushrooms are cooked, lift the lid, place the cheese on top, and return the lid, allowing the cheese to melt.

  7. 7

    Transfer the mushrooms to the buns, top with fried onions, and assemble the burger.
