About
I've got a treat for you that's super easy and tastes awesome—we're making Big, juicy Swiss Mushroom Burgers! Seriously, these burgers are a vegetarian dream. They look like beef burgers, but no meat. Large mushrooms roasted with yummy garlic butter? Yes, please! We then top them with Swiss cheese—or any cheese slice you like—and stuff them into soft rolls.
Think of these tasty delights as fully loaded veggie goodness, maybe even add a vegetarian burger pattie. This will be a signature recipe.
I like to add lettuce, tomatoes, and, of course, our pink burger sauce. They're also great with simple French fries or baked potato wedges on the side! Small mushrooms? No sweat—I'll tell ya what to do about this later!
Ingredients
Before we explore into making these Big, juicy Swiss Mushroom Burgers, let's gather our ingredients—it is the fun part! I'm talking about: four big mushrooms (like portobello!), two tablespoons of unsalted butter, two minced garlic cloves, and olive oil!
Don't forget salt and pepper, 'cause who wants a bland burger? You'll need four slices of Swiss cheese, too—or whatever cheese you're into; I'm not the cheese police! For the onions: three onions, one tablespoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper. You'll also need ingredients for the Pink Burger Sauce!
- Mayonnaise (or sour cream—fancy!)
- Ketchup (the classic)
- Sriracha (for that fiery kick!)
Finally, we've got the burger parts: four buns (brioche, yes, please!), lettuce, and tomatoes. And fries on the side – because, why not?!
Instructions
Now, let's dive right into making these burgers—don't worry; it's easier than mastering a video game, I promise! First, preheat your oven to 220°C – that's 450°F for my American friends.
Next, I melt 2 tablespoons of butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. I just microwave it 'til it's liquid gold! Using garlic butter I make is what sets this recipe apart!
Now, brush those big mushroom caps with the garlic butter—smooth side first—put them gill-side up on a tray. I never leave any garlic behind! It's all going onto those shrooms!
Drizzle with olive oil, roast for 25 minutes, flip, and baste with the tray juices. Roast another 10 minutes; they are delicious!
Then, add your Swiss cheese slices. Return to the oven for just 3 minutes! Place your cut burger buns into the oven at the same time if you would like them toasted!
Notes
Notes
Mushrooms are the star of this veggie show. I've got some vital notes, so listen up! If you can't find those enormous mushrooms, don't freak out – grab two smaller ones per burger, or one and a half if they're kinda medium, you know?
Small shrooms it is? Slice 200g/7oz per burger about 0.5cm / 1/5" thick. Cook 'em in batches with 60g / 4 tbsp butter and 2 minced garlic cloves – halve those ingredients for each batch you are planning to cook! Cook on high until golden, then pile high for each burger. If you're looking to add some meat, you could try forming a delicious beef mince patty to add to the burger.
- Imagine sinking your teeth into juicy, garlicky bliss.
- Think of the satisfying cheese pull as you take that first bite.
- Picture yourself becoming the burger master of your friend group!
Wanna mix it up? Check burger options – avocado, bacon, fried egg–oh my! Sauces- oh yes!- ketchup, sriracha!! Nutrition info is conservative–it leaves butter behind, so feel free to mop it up with the buns!
