Swiss Mushroom Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mushroom Topping

   In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chopped thyme and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Burger Patties

   In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form into two burger patties. In the same skillet used for the mushrooms, cook the patties over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Melt the Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking the burger patties, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Place the cooked burger patty with melted Swiss cheese on the bottom half of the bun. Top generously with the sautéed mushrooms. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
