Ingredients
Four 4-inch portobello mushrooms, stems removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces white Cheddar, shredded (about 1 cup)
3 ounces Havarti cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 cup panko
Olive oil cooking spray
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
4 brioche burger buns, split
4 leaves bibb or green leaf lettuce
1 large tomato, sliced
Directions
- Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Toss together the mushrooms, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place the mushrooms in the air-fryer basket and fry until tender, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the Cheddar, Havarti cheese, cream cheese, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Form each portion into a disk about 3 1/2 inches wide to fit inside the mushroom caps.
- Once the mushrooms are cool enough to handle, horizontally cut off the upper third of each mushroom cap. Place 1 cheese disk inside each mushroom, gill-side up, and sandwich with the top of the mushroom cap, pressing down to cover the cheese filling.
- Whisk the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small baking dish. Whisk the egg in a second baking dish. Put the panko in a third baking dish.
- Dredge the mushrooms in the flour, shake off any excess and coat in the egg mixture. Allow the excess egg to drip off, then coat in the panko, pressing to adhere. Spray the mushrooms with the cooking spray and place in the air fryer basket. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce and ketchup in a small bowl. Spread a generous layer of the sauce on both sides of the buns. Add to each bottom bun 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tomato slice and 1 mushroom burger. Finish with the bun tops, slice in half and serve.
