Ingredients
- 1 hamburger bun Brioche, sesame seed, etc.
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 portobello mushroom cap stem removed
- 1 slice provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon jarred or homemade basil pesto
- 1/2 cup fresh arugula or lettuce of your choice
- 2 slices tomato optional, sliced
Instructions
- Wipe any soil or dirt from the surface of the mushroom with a damp paper towel. Do not wash the mushrooms in water.
- Turn the mushroom over, and using a spoon, gently scrape away the black gills from the under side. Discard the gills.
- Add the butter to a skillet and heat over medium high until the butter melts and begins to pop. Add the mushroom, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning once until mushroom releases its water and is cooked through--about 6 to 8 minutes or so. It will still be slightly firm.
- While the mushroom cooks, in a small bowl mix the mayonnaise and pesto. Set aside.
- If desired, toast your bun in a toaster or dry skillet.
- Spread the mayo/pesto mixture over the bun and add the mushroom cap. Top with provolone cheese.
- Top with arugula, tomato and pickles if desired. Serve warm with a napkin--it's messy!
