Portabella Mushroom Burgers

Ok so last night I made these burgers for dinner, and it was quite yummy. It was a portabella mushroom cap brushed with a marinade grilled, and topped with melted swiss cheese and a grilled roasted red pepper (along with produce). I thought I would Share the recipe!

*Note: I was confused that the word "portabella" was not recognized as a word by bloggers spell check. I began to wonder if it was spelled "portobella" or "portobello". According to the Mushroom Council I am corret in my spelling of "portabella" so we will go with that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_bisporus

Portabella Mushroom Burgers
2 servings
Ingredients:
marinade (recipe below)
2 large portabella mushroom caps
jar of roasted red peppers
swiss cheese
mayo
lettuce
tomato

For marinade:
2 Tablespoons of balsamic vinger
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
sprinkle of sage
sprinkle of basil
sprinkle of pepper
sprinkle of steak seasoning
1/2 teaspoon of mustard (deli works really but I used regular yellow last night)

Directions:
Mix the marinade. Brush the mushroom caps top and bottom with marinade, and place on grill (normal grill, george forman, cuisinart, etc.). After about 3 to 4 mins, turn mushroom caps over, and brush with whatever marinade is remaining. Grill for another 3 to 4 mins. Now place a roasted red pepper on each mushroom cap, and grill for about 2 minutes. Now place the slices of swiss cheese on top of the mushroom/roasted red pepper. This time don't put the top of the grill down (if you are using a george forman or cuisinart) but lower it enough so that the heat of it can melt the cheese. Grill until cheese starts to melt.

Spread mayo on bun, in my case I used slices of homemade garlic cheese bread which was overwhelmingly delicious (I'll post the recipe for that too). Place your mushroom/red pepper/swiss cheese onto the bread, top with lettuce and tomato. ENJOY!!

Garlic Cheese Bread (for a bread maker)
Ingredients:
Water 1 and 1/3 cups + 1 Tablespoon
Salt 1 teaspoon
Sugar 2 Tablespoons
Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded 1 cup
garlic 1 bulb, take each clove and cut the woody end off and then slice each clove in half lengthwise
Bread Flour 4 cups
Bread Machine Yeast 4 and 1/2 teaspoons

Directions:
Place in bread maker in order as listed, and put bread maker on "Fast Bake" setting.

(If you don't have a bread maker, I am pretty sure you could mix everything together, and then let it rise for 30 minutes and then bake it for about 30 minutes, I haven't tried it with this recipe but I don't see why it wouldn't work)
