Portobello Mushroom Burgers
We devoured these delish portobello mushroom burgers and I know you will love them too!
a suggestion from an unlikely source led to this recipe!
I recently shot a recipe for portobello parmesan for a client, and served it up for dinner as I do. When we finished eating, Mike – who happily eats whatever I serve and rarely weighs in with suggestions – said, “you know what would make this even better? Meat.”.
And I knew immediately that he was right.
what are portobello mushroom burgers?
Portobello mushroom burgers are like an open-faced pizza burger, with the mushroom standing in for the “bun”.
what’s in this recipe?
Although I started off with a simple hamburger recipe, I decided I wanted more flavor and went with a riff on my favorite meatballs. Here’s what you need:
ground beef
parmesan
egg
flavored bread crumbs
garlic salt
black pepper
portobello mushrooms
olive oil
kosher salt
marinara sauce
shredded mozzarella
how do you make these burgers?
This portobello mushroom burger recipe could not be any easier! Make the burgers as you would meatballs, combining the ground beef, parmesan, egg, bread crumbs, garlic salt and pepper.
Divide into 4 portions and create patties that will fit into your portobello mushroom caps.
Remove the mushroom stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon.
Brush with oil and season with salt.
Place a patty into each cap and bake in an ovenproof skillet till the beef starts to brown.
Top each patty with marinara and mozzarella and broil till golden brown and bubbly.
SO good!
these portobello burgers are super adaptable!
If you use gluten free breadcrumbs this is a perfect GF dinner. And I’m going to try these next time with a plant-based ground beef, because I’d love the vegetarian option that is almost there.
While I used my tried-and-true meatball recipe to create the patties, feel free to flavor the beef as you like, or swap the ground beef for veggie burgers, ground turkey or chicken.
I also love grilled portobello mushrooms, and will be trying this out on a grill pan when the weather gets warmer.
Let me know if you make them!
