SMOKY PORTABELLA BURGER WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL
A delicious burger recipe that I got from a friend! The smoked cheese really gives it a nice flavor - I know it can be hard to find certain varieties depending on where you live, so let me know if you try a new one that works well :) I can get smoked gouda most easily where I live, so that's what I usually use, but I've also tried and enjoyed it with smoked mozzarella and smoked cheddar. I am adding a range on both the basil leaves and sun-dried tomatoes, as it depends on the size of the pieces you have as to how many you might want - enough to cover each mushroom.

Tips:

- Marinating the Mushrooms: Allow the portobello mushrooms to marinate in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes to infuse them with flavor.
- Grilling the Mushrooms: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the portobello mushrooms for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Building the Burger: Layer the grilled portobello mushrooms with sun-dried tomatoes, basil leaves, and your favorite burger toppings on a toasted bun.
- Selecting the Right Buns: Use a sturdy bun that can hold up to the weight of the portobello mushroom and toppings. Brioche or whole wheat buns are good choices.
- Adding Sauces and Condiments: Experiment with different sauces and condiments to complement the flavors of the portobello burger. Balsamic glaze, pesto, or aioli are all great options.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the portobello burgers immediately with a side of grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
