Directions
To assemble each Vegan Italian Portobello Mushroom Burger, start with the bottom half of a toasted bun. Layer fresh basil leaves and spinach leaves, followed by a grilled portobello mushroom cap. If desired, sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese on top of the mushroom.
Spoon tomato sauce over the mushroom, and if you like, add a dollop of vegan pesto sauce for extra flavor. Finally, complete your burger with the top bun. Serve warm and enjoy the taste of Italy in every bite!
Customize your burger with additional toppings like roasted red peppers, sliced black olives, or artichoke hearts to add even more Italian flair. Enjoy!
