Portobello and Beef Patty Melt Recipe

  • 12 ounces 93%-lean ground beef
  • 2 cups finely chopped portobello mushroom caps, gills removed
  • 3 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 slices rye bread
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 8 teaspoons pickle relish
  • 4 (1/2 ounce) slices Swiss cheese
  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
  2. Gently mix beef, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Shape into 4 patties and place on the prepared pan. Broil until cooked though, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  3. Meanwhile, toast bread. Rub each slice of toast with garlic.
  4. Place 1 patty on each piece of toast, top each with 2 teaspoons relish and cover with a slice of cheese. Remove foil and place the sandwiches on the pan; broil until the cheese is just melted, 30 to 60 seconds.
