I love these. My family went vegetarian 8 months ago and I have had a ball finding new things to cook. These burgers are outstanding. It is a pesto topped portobello with smokey cheese YUM. I used smoked muenster and it was devine. Thanks NurseDi for posting this -
These burgers reminded me of warmer summer days when we ate them tonight. Both DH and I really liked this recipe and would have again. It's easy to make on a weeknight. While it was a little messy to eat, we didn't mind as we happily licked our fingers. Served with a black bean salad as we were a little short on side options. Thanks for posting! -
This burger is absolutely amazing. We used a pre-made pesto that we like rather than the green sauce specified. We also used the montreal seasoning as a rub and "marinated" the mushrooms for about an hour prior to cooking and they came out quite well.
