Portobello Mushroom Burgers

We just bought a new BBQ and to celebrate we had our family over to enjoy some burgers.
My sister, however, does not eat red meat so for her we made something a little different - portobello mushroom burgers. Super simple, super delicious, and just as wonderful as the beef counterparts.

Ingredients:

Portabello Mushrooms (1 per burger)
Balsamic vinegar
Olive Oil
Sage
Basil
Oregano
Thyme
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Mustard
Cheese (Cheddar or Havarti)

Mix vinegar, oil, herbs, and spices into a marinade.
Soak the mushrooms in the marinade for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
Spark up the barbie and grill the mushroom topped with your choice of cheese for 5-8 minutes, long enough to warm it through and get those lovely grill marks on it.
This is a super easy and a healthy alternative to those over processed tofu and mushroom burgers you buy at the store.
And they are great with all the fixings - bun, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, or even guacamole (as pictured below).
