Toppings

Method

Prepare Mushrooms

  1. 1

    Clean and Season

    Rinse the portobello mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the stems and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Breading Process

  1. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  2. 3

    Breading the Mushrooms

    Dip each seasoned mushroom into the flour, coating evenly. Next, dip the floured mushroom into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the mushroom in breadcrumbs pressing lightly to adhere.

Frying Process

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

  2. 5

    First Fry

    Carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Second Fry

    Once all mushrooms are fried, return them to the hot oil for a second fry, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until extra crispy. Drain again on paper towels.

Assemble Burgers

  1. 7

    Add Cheese

    While the mushrooms are still hot, place two slices of Swiss cheese on each mushroom, allowing it to melt slightly.

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a layer of lettuce, followed by a fried mushroom with melted cheese. Top with a slice of tomato and finish with the top half of the bun.
