This succulent roasted mushroom burger is so full of flavour and umami it’s as delicious as a good beef burger to me. With a thick layer of melted mozzarella, it will make any meat lover feel utterly satisfied.
* Cooks notes ~ This recipe could not be simpler and you need little else other than the pesto which already has all the flavour components. The Greek Pesto worked brilliantly with this recipe, but basil pesto would be just as delicious.
I love to butter the burger buns and then toast them on a griddle pan. It gives them a wonderful toasty taste and crunchy texture. If you are fond of heat, you could either add a sprinkle of dried chilli before roasting the mushrooms or a splash of your favourite hot sauce afterwards.
