Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large caps portobello mushrooms
- 4 slices vegetarian bacon strips
- 2 slices monterey jack cheese
- 2 whole burger buns
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 whole lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the soy sauce, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grill the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have perfect grill marks.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the vegetarian bacon strips for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they become crispy.
Slice the tomato into thick rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are slightly golden and crisp.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by the grilled portobello mushroom cap.
Add a slice of Monterey Jack cheese over the mushroom cap and allow it to melt slightly from the residual heat.
Top each burger with 2 slices of vegetarian bacon, a slice of tomato, and then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of side salad or fries.
