DIRECTIONS
STEP #1
Poke holes on bottom side of portabella mushrooms; marinate mushrooms for 1-2 hours in fridge.
STEP #2
When ready, preheat oven to 375, bake marinated mushrooms, gill side down, for 10 minutes.
STEP #3
Remove ports from oven, flip mushrooms over and add cheese - bake for another 5-10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
STEP #4
While the mushrooms are baking, mix together all the ingredients for your avocado spread. We used an immersion blender for ours, but you may use a food processor, or whatever tools you may have!
STEP #5
After cheese has melted to your liking, remove port burgers from the oven. Place your deliciously cheesy portabella burger, avocado spread, lettuce, tomatoes, (and whatever else your heart desires) onto your Kaiser bun.
STEP #6
Ready to serve! Enjoy.
