Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat.
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.
Brush the mushroom caps on both sides with the olive oil and balsamic mixture. Let them marinate for 5 minutes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, a salad, or coleslaw.
