Portobello Mushroom Burgers

These veggie burgers are easy, and make a great beef alternative that even a meat lover would enjoy. The mushrooms are marinated then grilled and topped with melted Swiss cheese, grilled red onion, tomatoes, spinach, and avocado – yum!!

To give the mushroom a meaty flavor, I marinated them with balsamic, soy sauce and Montreal steak seasoning. They were so good, perfect for meatless Mondays or any night of the week.

Portobello mushrooms are thick and meaty, making them a great alternative for vegetarians, vegans, and anybody who wants to incorporate more plant based foods in their diet. Replacing beef with mushrooms is also an easy way to reduce calorie consumption overall.

I used Swiss cheese, but you can top them with mozzarella, feta cheese, cheddar or even roasted red pepper, and fresh basil.

Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 1 hour
Yield: 4 servings
Serving Size: 1 loaded burger

Ingredients

  • 4 portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary
  • 1-1/2 tsp steak seasoning like Montreal Steak Grill Mates
  • 4 thick slices red onion
  • 4 oz reduced fat Swiss, sliced thin
  • 4 thin slices tomato
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced thin
  • baby spinach
  • 4 whole wheat low calorie buns, I used Martin

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, oil, rosemary, and Montreal steak seasoning.
  • Place the mushroom caps in the bowl and toss with sauce, using a spoon to evenly coat. Let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, turning a few times.
  • Heat the grill or indoor grill pan over medium heat. When hot, brush the grate with oil or lightly spray the grill pan.
  • Place the mushrooms on the grill, reserving marinade for basting. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until tender, brushing with marinade frequently.
  • Top the mushrooms with cheese during the last minute of cooking.
  • While the mushrooms cook, grill the onions about 1 minute on each side and grill the buns until toasted.
  • To finish, place the spinach and grilled portobello mushrooms on the buns and top with the grilled onions, sliced tomato and avocado.
