How to Make Mushroom Swiss Burger

Step 1: Prepare the Burger Patties

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties slightly larger than the buns. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.

Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms

Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme during the last minute of cooking.

Step 3: Cook the Burgers

Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.

Step 4: Melt the Cheese

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each burger and cover briefly so the cheese melts beautifully.

Step 5: Toast the Buns

Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden.

Step 6: Assemble the Burgers

Spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Add lettuce, tomato, the cheesy burger patty, sautéed mushrooms, and sliced red onion.

Step 7: Serve

Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides and enjoy every juicy, cheesy bite.
