Ingredients

• 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 slices Smoked gouda cheese, sliced
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the mushroom caps on both sides with the olive oil and balsamic mixture. Let them marinate for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In the meantime, prepare the garlic mayo. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, 2 minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

Place the mushroom caps on the preheated grill, gill-side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip them over and place a slice of smoked gouda on top of each cap. Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are tender.

Step 6

While the mushrooms are grilling, spread the softened butter on the cut sides of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous amount of garlic mayo on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer with a lettuce leaf, grilled portabella mushroom with gouda, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, a salad, or coleslaw.
