Flat mushrooms have an intense, robust flavour and a dense, meaty texture. They pair well with prosciutto and cheese in these gourmet burgers.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup semi-dried tomatoes, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup torn basil leaves
- 4 large flat mushrooms
- 8 slices prosciutto, rind removed
- 200g Taleggio cheese*, thinly sliced
- 4 round crusty bread rolls (preferably wood-fired), halved
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 cup baby rocket leaves
Method
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 160°C.
- Step 2Heat oil in a saucepan, add onions and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes or until onions are soft and caramelised. Stir in the semi-dried tomatoes and basil.
- Step 3Place mushrooms on a lightly greased baking tray and top with onion mixture. Scrunch up prosciutto and place a piece on each mushroom, followed by a slice of cheese. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Step 4Meanwhile, spread base of rolls with pesto, divide rocket between each and top with the cheesy mushrooms. Serve with oven fries and a green salad, if desired.
