Mushroom Burgers!!!


These are fantastic! They are a great escape from meat or your everyday veggie burger. The best thing about these is that you would never even know they are made from mushrooms! Great flavor! 

Serves 4

3 8 oz. pkgs. organic mushrooms
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 large clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp cream cheese
2 Tbsp Asiago or Parmesan, grated
1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
Sea salt, to taste
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

4 soft burger buns, or sliced challah
Bread and Butter Pickles
Sautéed sliced red onion
Sriracha Mayo

To make the burgers
Finely chop 2 pkgs. of mushrooms. Thinly slice the 3rd pkg. of mushrooms. Heat a sauté pan over med-high heat. Melt 1 Tbsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. In 3 batches, sauté the mushrooms. Put them in the pan and don't touch them for a few minutes. Let them release their water. Season with salt, pepper, and the nutmeg. When each batch is done, transfer to a bowl for the mushrooms to cool. When the mushrooms are all done and removed to a bowl, sauté the bread crumbs and garlic in the leftover butter and oil for just a minute or two. Add to the bowl of mushrooms and set aside to cool.
Once cool, add the Dijon, cream cheese, and Asiago cheese.
Mix well and form into 4 patties. Melt the remaining Tbsp of butter and 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. Sauté the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are nicely browned.
Smear buns with the Sriracha Mayo, add the mushroom burger, and top with pickles and sautéed onions.
