We love mushrooms at my house. When they are on sale I buy a bunch. Mushrooms are nutritious and low in calories. Did you know that portobello mushrooms are a full grown crimini mushroom? I have never eaten a portobello mushroom burger. I was told it’s a great substitution for beef on your bun. Well, I was pleasantly surprised after making these. They tasted very good, maybe not quite like a beef burger but very good, especially topped with cheese. I broiled mine because it was a little cold to be outside grilling. I can’t wait ti try them on the grill when the weather warms up. They are super easy to make. I hope you like them as much as we did.

You’ll need:
2 portobello mushrooms
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
salt and pepper
mozzarella cheese or cheese of your choice

In a small bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic, salt and pepper.

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

Lay the mushrooms cap side down in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the mushrooms and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Turning a couple times.

You can cook the mushrooms on the grill or do like I did and broil them in the oven. It’s cold outside!

Cook about 8 minutes each side. Top with cheese during the last minute.
