Ingredients
  

  • 4 portabella mushrooms
  • 2 Burger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices

Dredge Station

  • 1/4 cup vegan egg like Just Egg or sub plant milk and 1 tsp vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • Few dashes garlic salt
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying recommend Peanut, Vegetable or Canola

Cheese Filling

  • 1/4 cup Vegan Mayo
  • 2 oz grated vegan cheese I suggest grating your own over pre-grated
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast or to taste
  • Few dashes of smoked paprika
  • Few dashes garlic salt

Shack Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients for Shack Sauce and set aside in fridge.
  • Combine ingredients for Cheese filling and set aside in fridge.
  • Prepare your dredging station. Add panko breadcrumbs to a bowl, add the flour and a couple dashes of garlic salt to another bowl. Then add your vegan egg (or plant milk and vinegar) to another bowl.
  • Take off the stem and scoop out the gills of the mushrooms and discard. Place the shrooms on a plate and cover in plastic wrap and microwave for 4 minutes. You can also brush them with some olive oil and roast in the oven at 375° F for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven or microwave (careful they will be hot, and the liquid they've released will be hot too!) Once cool enough to handle, pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Fill up one mushroom cap with the cheese filling. You'll need more or less depending on the size of the mushroom. You might have left over filling, but it can be used as a dip, or on a sandwich!
  • Press two mushroom caps together to seal in the cheese.
  • Dredge your mushrooms in the flour, then the vegan egg or buttermilk, and lastly the panko. Make sure you get them completely coated in all three!
  • Heat up oil to 375° F either in an electric deep fryer, or a dutch oven with a deep fry thermometer.
  • Once oil is up to temperature, carefully place your mushroom burger in, and let it fry until it's golden brown. Once done, remove and add to a wire rack.
  • While the mushroom burger cools, assemble the rest of your burger with the Shack Sauce, lettuce and tomato, and whatever other toppings you want! Add the mushroom burger and dig in!
  • ENJOY!
