Cheese Portobello Burger w/ Chipotle Mayo
Every once and awhile I get tired of eating meat. I love fruits and vegetables a lot. Now my husband prefers meat for all of his meals but I was finally able to convince him to try an all vegetable sandwich. This is a great way to make sure that the whole family gets its daily serving of veggies. Plus some of your 4th of July guests might be vegetarians. Anyway, anything that is grilled outside always tastes great! The compound cream cheese really sets this burger off.
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms (black gills removed)
- 1 Vidalia or Bermuda onion thickly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 ripe tomato, sliced
- Iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil for brushing on the veggies
- 4 Kaiser Rolls or Onion rolls
Directions
- Scrape the black gills from the mushroom with a spoon and discard. Brush veggies with olive oil.
- Grill the Portobello and onions for 3 minutes on each side. Grill the bell peppers over the coals until the skins turn black.
- Scrape off the black skin. After grilling, slice the peppers into strips. Keep all the veggies except the lettuce and tomato, warm.
Chipotle Mayonnaise
- ½ Cup Mayonnaise
- Pinch of season salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
Mix the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, and season salt and refrigerate until needed.
Compound Cream Cheese
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 4 oz crumbled blue cheese
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Directions:
- Allow the butter and cream cheese to come to room temperature. Whip the cream cheese and butter together.
- Add the garlic, chopped parsley and crumbled blue cheese with the butter mixture. Place mixture on plastic wrap and form into a log.
- Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm. Then slice into ¾ inch slices. Assemble Sandwich Toast the Kaiser or Onion Roll for a few seconds over the hot coals on the grill.
- Liberally spread the roll on both sides with the Chipotle mayonnaise. Then layer on the lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled peppers, onions and then the Portobello.
- Place 3 slices of compound cream cheese slice on the Portobello Mushroom. The compound Cream cheese also works great on hamburgers.
Enjoy!
