Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Ingredients

• 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns, toasted
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup aioli
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped thyme
• 2 large lettuce leaves
• 2 medium tomato slices
• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced

Method

1. 1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
2. 2In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper, then brush the mixture evenly onto both sides of the mushroom slices.
3. 3Grill the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a deep brown color and a tender texture.
4. 4Meanwhile, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster, until lightly browned and crispy.
5. 5Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of aioli on the bottom bun, followed by a grilled mushroom slice, a slice of cheese, a few leaves of lettuce, a tomato slice, and a slice of red onion.
6. 6Top with the top bun and sprinkle with chopped thyme.
7. 7Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of flavors and textures.
8. 8Let the burgers rest for a minute or two before serving, allowing the cheese to set and the flavors to meld together.
