Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 Whole grain buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 small Onion
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Clean the Portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and set the caps aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar.
Brush the mixture onto both sides of each mushroom cap and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushroom caps, gill-side up, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Flip the mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each mushroom cap, allowing it to melt as the mushroom finishes cooking.
While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato, and slice the onion thinly.
Toast the whole grain buns on a grill or in a toaster for a minute or until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a mushroom cap with melted Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion rings.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Mushroom Swiss Burger.
