Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves

- 4 slices Sliced red onion

Instructions
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp paper towel and gently removing the stems.
Prepare the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Grill the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes per side, basting with any leftover marinade, until tender and slightly charred.
If using cheese, place a slice on each mushroom cap during the last minute of grilling to allow it to melt.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom halves of the buns.
Add a lettuce leaf, a grilled mushroom cap, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, and any additional desired toppings.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
