Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams baby bella mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 80 grams breadcrumbs
- 30 grams parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- to taste toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, etc.)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms and finely chop them. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese (if using), soy sauce, dried thyme, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a sticky mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushroom patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, grill the patties over medium heat for the same duration.
Toast the burger buns if desired, then assemble the burgers. Place a mushroom patty on the bottom bun and layer with your preferred toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful mushroom burgers!
