Ingredients
- 4 pieces portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 slices sliced red onion
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Directions
Step 1
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping off any dirt using a damp paper towel.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the mixture generously onto both sides of the mushroom caps. Let them marinate for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill or skillet.
Step 4
Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the mushrooms gill-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Flip the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each mushroom during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
Step 6
Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for about 1 minute until golden.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by placing a cheese-topped mushroom cap on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, and a pickle slice. Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun, then place it on top.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
