Ingredients

• 300 grams baby bella mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 80 grams breadcrumbs
• 30 grams parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 0 to taste toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms and finely chop them. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese (if using), soy sauce, dried thyme, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a sticky mixture.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushroom patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, grill the patties over medium heat for the same duration.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns if desired, then assemble the burgers. Place a mushroom patty on the bottom bun and layer with your preferred toppings.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful mushroom burgers!
