Ingredients

  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 4 brioche burger buns, split
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
  • 4 leaves green leaf lettuce
  • 2 ripe tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  2. 2

    Wipe 4 stems removed large portobello mushroom caps clean and place them gill-side up in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, spooning some into the gills. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping once.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Clean and oil the grates.

  4. 4

    Grill the portobellos gill-side down for 5–6 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4–5 minutes until fully tender and juicy. In the last minute, place a slice of 4 slices Swiss cheese slices on each cap to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the 4 split brioche burger buns cut-side down on the grill for 1–2 minutes until golden.

  6. 6

    Spread 1/4 cup mayonnaise on each bun. Layer 4 leaves green leaf lettuce, grilled portobello, 2 sliced ripe tomato slices, and 1/2 thinly sliced red onion. Serve immediately.
