Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 1 cup Arugula
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, gill-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles onto the gill-side of the mushrooms during the last minute of cooking, allowing the cheese to soften slightly.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled portabella mushroom on the bottom half of each bun. Top with arugula, a tomato slice, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Portabella Burgers with Balsamic and Blue Cheese!
