The addition of fresh spinach provides an extra nutritional boost, making these burgers a wholesome meal that’s perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt and removing the stems. Optionally, you may scrape out the gills for a cleaner appearance and to reduce moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix the vegetable oil, garlic powder, and salt.
- Brush both sides of the mushrooms generously with the oil mixture.
- Place the mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill side down.
- Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the mushrooms are grilling, briefly sauté the spinach in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the bottom halves of the hamburger buns on a serving plate.
- Place a grilled portobello mushroom cap on each bun.
- Evenly divide the sautéed spinach among the mushrooms.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the spinach on each burger.
- Add a dollop of low-fat cottage cheese on top of the cheddar cheese for added creaminess.
- Place the top halves of the buns over the assembled mushrooms.
- Serve the portobello mushroom burgers immediately while they're warm.
Tips:
- Choose large, firm portobello mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- Marinate the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs for extra flavor before grilling or baking.
- Toast the hamburger buns for added crunch and to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for a richer taste compared to pre-shredded cheese.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute dairy products with vegan cheese and use olive oil or a different plant-based oil.
- Ensure that the spinach is well-washed and dried before sautéing to prevent excess moisture.
Enjoy these flavorful and nutritious Portobello mushroom burgers with spinach and cheddar cheese as a delightful and satisfying meal.
