Ingredients

• 4 pieces Portobello mushroom caps
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 4 pieces Ciabatta buns
• 1 cup Arugula
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
• 4 slices Provolone cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the marinade mixture onto both sides of the portobello mushroom caps and let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the mushrooms are marinating, in a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice to make the garlic aioli. Set aside.

Step 5

Place the marinated mushroom caps on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and juicy.

Step 6

During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of provolone cheese on each mushroom cap to allow it to melt slightly.

Step 7

Toast the ciabatta buns on the grill until they are lightly golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading the garlic aioli on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.

Step 9

Layer each bun with arugula, a grilled mushroom cap with cheese, tomato slices, and red onion slices.

Step 10

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
