Veggie Bugger with Runny Fried Egg
Who knew a veggie burger could taste so good? We certainly enjoyed this as much as the pork burgers (if not more). Portobello mushrooms have a meaty texture, and can be used as a substitute for meat patties for vegetarians or those who want to go meatless. I filled the portobello mushrooms with a mixture of garlic, butter, mozzarella cheese and panko before placing under a hot grill for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is all nice and oozy. I lightly toasted the buns, fried two beautifully runny eggs, assembled everything together and voila - we have ourselves one mighty tasty burger! Another great thing about this burger is that minimal effort is required for prep.
Without the burger buns, this grilled portobello mushroom with mozzarella cheese would also make a great appetizer to a meal. Simple to make, pretty to look at and delicious!
