Serves 2
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper
2 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
1 x 125g ball of Mozzarella, sliced
Lettuce leaves of choice
1 large ripe tomato, sliced
2 eggs
2 crusty baps or ciabattas, split and lightly toasted
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, shallot, balsamic vinegar, thyme, one tablespoon of the olive oil and a liberal pinch each of salt and black pepper and mix well. Place the mushrooms gill-side up in a baking dish, brush generously with the marinade and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, toss the lettuce leaves and tomato slices together with any leftover marinade and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4.
- Place the marinated mushrooms in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the remaining oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the eggs to your liking, keeping each one separate. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the Mozzarella slices on top of the mushrooms and bake for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is just melted. Remove from the oven.
- To assemble each burger, layer some lettuce leaves, one mushroom (cheese side up), some sliced tomato, one fried egg and more lettuce on the bottom half of each bap/ciabatta and sandwich together with the top half.
