About

Mushroom and Swiss is one of the fixtures of American burger menus, and plenty of chains on this site sell their own version. This recipe is the straightforward home take: grilled beef patties topped with buttery mushrooms and melted Swiss.

The mushrooms are the part with a twist. They are sautéed in butter with a splash of soy sauce, which adds saltiness and a savoury depth and helps them brown. The patties are seasoned with salt, pepper and meat tenderizer and cooked over medium heat for about six minutes a side, to 160°F in the centre. The mushrooms and cheese go on while the burgers are still on the grill, and a minute under the closed lid melts the Swiss over the top so it holds the mushrooms in place. Serve on plain buns and let the topping do the work.
