Crispy Cheese Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Burger
This crispy cheese stuffed portobello mushroom burger is deliciously hearty and a fantastic vegetarian alternative to a beefy hamburger. Savory melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese are first sandwiched between 2 juicy giant portobello mushroom caps. It’s then breaded in panko breadcrumbs and air-fried until it’s crispy and golden. Sandwiched on a sweet brioche bun, this is a decadent and tasty burger everyone can enjoy.
Using the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot Duo Crisp multi-use cookers for this recipe makes it simple to saute and air-crisp the mushroom caps all in one pot. Not only is it less fuss to air crisp the breaded portobello mushroom caps but it’s also a healthier option than deep frying. Not to mention a lot less work to clean up afterward and no need to deal with leftover hot oil.
Going low carb? No problem! Substitute the panko breadcrumbs for grated parmesan for an even more delectable cheesy flavor. Serve the crispy cheese stuffed portobello on a lettuce bun in place of the brioche or simply serve it on its own.
If you prefer not to use cheddar or mozzarella cheese, swiss, gouda or gruyere are some other great alternatives that pair well with portobello mushrooms.
Garnish with any additional condiments you like, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mayo- there really is no wrong way to eat this burger! Wanna get even more decadent? Use the crispy cheese stuffed portobello mushroom as a topping on a burger patty.

Notes
- *We find that if you spray the panko breadcrumbs with a little bit of olive oil before you bread the mushroom caps it results in a more even coating and crispier texture. You can spray the breaded mushrooms with oil just before air crisping however we find that the oil dispersion is not as even
- It is important that you freeze the portobello caps before they are air crisped or else all the cheese will melt and leak out of the mushroom
- You can use this breaded mushroom cap as a topping on a burger patty. Check out our Beyond Meat Cheese Burger with Crispy Cheese Stuffed Portobello Mushroom recipe for more ideas
