Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large portobello mushroom caps
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cheddar cheese slices
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 burger buns
- 4 tomato slices
- 4 red onion slices
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Season the portobello mushroom caps with salt and pepper. Place them gill side down in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn them over, top with cheddar cheese slices, cover the skillet, and cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melty and the mushrooms are tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny side up or over easy) for about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 4
In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Mix in lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make a simple guacamole.
Step 5
Toast the burger buns in the skillet for about 1 minute until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by spreading the avocado mash on the bottom bun. Layer with a portobello cap, some baby spinach leaves, a fried egg, 2 tomato slices, and 2 red onion slices. Top with the other bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Big Brekkie Burger.
