Portobello & Beef Patty Melt
This diner classic gets a makeover by replacing some of the ground beef with finely chopped portobello mushrooms, which add moisture and flavor. We like a smear of pickle relish on top, but you could try chutney, mustard or hot pepper relish in its place. Make it a Meal: Round out the plate with Oven Sweet Potato Fries and Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower.
Ingredients
-
12 ounces 93%-lean ground beef
-
2 cups finely chopped portobello mushroom caps, (about 2), gills removed
-
3 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-
4 slices rye bread
-
1 clove garlic, peeled
-
8 teaspoons pickle relish
-
4 slices Swiss cheese, (2 ounces)
Directions
1.
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
2.
Gently mix beef, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Shape into 4 patties and place on the prepared pan. Broil until cooked though, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
3.
Meanwhile, toast bread. Rub each slice of toast with garlic.
4.
Place 1 patty on each piece of toast, top each with 2 teaspoons relish and cover with a slice of cheese. Remove foil and place the sandwiches on the pan; broil until the cheese is just melted, 30 to 60 seconds.
