The Fresh Mushroom Melt

The Fresh Mushroom Melt keeps the mushroom flavor simple and easy by pairing the burger with fresh sliced mushrooms, melted provolone, and crisp vegetables. It is a straightforward burger with a slightly earthy twist that still fits the fresh-toppings-only Level 1 style.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 Richwood Meat burger patties
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 wheat buns
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • 4 leaves lettuce

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat a grill or skillet/griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the burger patties lightly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Cook the patties until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, turning once or as needed. Cook time may vary depending on patty thickness, cooking method, and whether cooking from frozen.
  4. During the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of provolone cheese.
  5. Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this can squeeze out flavorful juices.
  6. Lightly toast the wheat buns until warm and lightly crisp. Toasting helps the buns hold up better and adds texture.
  7. Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns.
  9. Assemble the burgers with the patty on the bottom bun, then top with sliced mushrooms, tomato, and lettuce. Add the top bun and serve right away.
