Breaded Portobello Mushroom Burgers
Valentina P
These portobello burgers are downright dreamy. The mushroom caps are lightly breaded and them grilled until tender, but still with a bit of bite. I like to use ground plantain chips for the breading, but traditional panko crumbs can be used just as well. Either way, you won't miss the meat.

Portobello Burgers
- 2 large whole portobello mushrooms
- 1 cup plantain chips (or 1/2 cup panko-style breadcrumbs)
- 1 egg, beaten
- salt and pepper, to taste Toppings (Optional)
- burger buns
- Special Burger Sauce
- tomatoes, pickles, lettuce
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a grill to medium-high (preferred method) or preheat an oven to 400°F to oven-bake.
- Step 2: Use a spoon to gently scoop out the gills on the undersides of the mushroom caps. If there is a hard stem, carefully cut it off.
- Step 3: To make the plantain chip topping, pulse the chips in a food processor until it's ground into a panko texture. Set up an assembly line of beaten egg and the crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper in 2 separate bowls. Dredge each mushroom cap in the the egg and then the crumbs. Coat the crumb mostly on the top and sides of the mushrooms (you don't need to coat the bottoms unless desired). There should be a light layer of crumbs all over the mushrooms.
- Step 4: Spray the mushrooms lightly with cooking spray. To grill them, place them in the grill until softened but still holding their shape, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. If using the oven method, cook them top side facing up for 20 to 22 minutes. Gently flip them upside down for the final 5 minutes of cooking.
- Serve: Enjoy these burgers as is, or load them up into an epic burger. These are delicious in Iceburgers.

- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- salt and pepper, to taste Toppings (Optional)
- burger buns
- Special Burger Sauce

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a grill to medium-high (preferred method) or preheat an oven to 400°F to oven-bake.
- Step 2: Use a spoon to gently scoop out the gills on the undersides of the mushroom caps. If there is a hard stem, carefully cut it off.
- Step 3: Stir together the milk, flour, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

Set up an assembly line of the flour batter and the crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper in 2 separate bowls. Smear the mushrooms on over the top and sides with the flour batter (you don't need to coat the bottoms unless desired). The batter will be quite thick, so use your hands to remove any excess - it should be thin layer. Coat the mushroom tops and sides with the crumbs, pressing in any gaps with your hands. Remove excess crumbs with your hands, it should be a thin 1/8 inch layer all-around.
- Step 5: Spray the mushrooms lightly with cooking spray. To grill them, place them in the grill until softened but still holding their shape, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. If using the oven method, cook them top side facing up for 20 to 22 minutes. Gently flip them upside down for the final 5 minutes of cooking.
