Smoky Portabella Burger With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Basil

"A delicious burger recipe that I got from a friend! The smoked cheese really gives it a nice flavor - I know it can be hard to find certain varieties depending on where you live, so let me know if you try a new one that works well :) I can get smoked gouda most easily where I live, so that's what I usually use, but I've also tried and enjoyed it with smoked mozzarella and smoked cheddar. I am adding a range on both the basil leaves and sun-dried tomatoes, as it depends on the size of the pieces you have as to how many you might want - enough to cover each mushroom."

directions

  • Remove mushroom stems and wipe down with a damp cloth.
  • Place on heated grill with gill-side down and grill for 10 minutes.
  • Flip and grill for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Place sun-dried tomatoes on the gill-side of the mushroom.
  • Top with cheese and let grill until cheese is melty, about 2-3 minutes.
  • At the same time, toast hamburger buns on grill, flipping once. They should be done about the same time as the melting cheese.
  • Place one mushroom on each bun and top with basil before enjoying!

  1. Loved this as a healthier alternative to beefburgers. I used havarti cheese as I couldn't find smoked anything at the supermarket. This was a good cheese to use as it doesn't go too gooey when heated but holds its shape well. I'll be using this recipe again! Thanks Starry!
     
  2. Oh Yum!! I wasn't able to find smoked mozza, gouda or cheddar, so used smoked provolone. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag. :)
     
  3. I tried the smoked mozz and gouda and both turned out really well. I have used this recipe several times and the proportions of basil/tomato can be changed based on availability and supply. Loved it in all forms.
     
  4. Such a good lunch! My mushroom was so big I had to cut it down to size. The gouda and sun dried tomatoes added a lot of flavor! Yummy! Thanks! Made for the TYM game in the cookbooks forum.
     
  5. We liked this burger. DH told me he would have like 2 portabella mushroom in his burger for more flavor. And he told me that the sun-dried tomatoes was overwhelming on the portabella. So maybe it would be better (for us) to used less sun-dried tomatoes or to dice them to distribute in the burger. But overall it's a very good vegetarian burger. I used smoked gouda cheese. And the basil is great in it. Thanks Starrynews :) Made for TYM tag game
