Instructions:
1. Prepare the Portobello Mushrooms:
- Thoroughly wash the Portobello mushrooms and extract their stems. The stems may be retained for subsequent recipes or discarded.
- Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small basin.
- Coat the mushroom tops on both sides with the olive oil mixture.
2. Grill the Portobello Mushrooms:
- Establish the grill over medium-high heat.
- Place the Portobello mushroom tops, gill side down, on the grill. Allow to grill for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until tender and adorned with grill marks.
3. Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle each Portobello mushroom cap with a slice of Swiss cheese in the final minute of barbecuing. By closing the barbecue lid, the cheese can be allowed to melt.
4. Assemble the Keto Burgers:
- Place the grilled Portobello mushrooms on a serving plate with the cheese side facing up.
- Add a handful of arugula or baby spinach on top of each mushroom.
- Layer on tomato slices and red onion.
- You can also add sugar-free ketchup and mustard if desired.
5. Serve:
