Shake Shack Shroom Burger

Shroom Burger

This delightful mushroom burger draws inspiration from the famous Shroom Burger at Shake Shack, and it’s a vegetarian treat worth savouring.

In 2018, during a transit stop in Dubai, we were fasting and craving a satisfying vegetarian option. That’s when we discovered the Shroom Burger from Shake Shack. This burger features a generous Portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese and coated in crispy breadcrumbs. When you take a bite, the cheese oozes out, creating a perfect harmony with the mushroom’s texture.

Here’s my simplified take on the Shack Shake Shroom Burger Recipe.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Large Portobello Mushrooms
  • 150g Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon of Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Cushshed Garlic
  • 100g Grated Cheese
  • 3/4 Cup Milk

METHOD

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by sautéing the Portobello mushrooms with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic. Allow them to rest, letting excess water release.
  2. Cheesy Filling: Once the mushrooms have cooled, generously stuff them with grated cheese. Ensure that the mushrooms are generously filled with cheese. Transfer them to the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
  3. Coating: Dip the stuffed mushrooms into milk and then toss them in breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Double coating provides that irresistible crispiness.
  4. Frying: Shallow fry the crumbed mushrooms over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown.
  5. Assembly: Place the golden, cheesy mushrooms on a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Now, it’s time to assemble your burger. Layer it with crisp lettuce, a slice of juicy tomato, and a dollop of spicy mayo.
  6. Enjoy: Dig into your homemade Shroom Burger and savor the mouthwatering combination of flavors and textures.
