Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 pieces Red onion slices
- 4 pieces Cheese slices (optional, such as provolone or Swiss)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems. Use a spoon to scrape out the gills for a cleaner flavor, if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat.
Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and place them on the grill, gill side up. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until tender and juicy. If desired, add a slice of cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for extra flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers by layering lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion slices on the bottom half of each bun. Place the grilled portabella mushroom cap on top, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious portabella burgers!
