We loved these! I subbed Red Wine Vinegar for the Balsamic (our personal preference) and normally add Italian Spices to my mixture but decided to leave them out this time and make an Herbed Mayonnaise instead. I brushed both sides of the mushrooms with the mixture and let them sit, button side down, for about an hour or so then put them on the grill to cook about 3-4 minutes on each side then topped with a slice of Provolone. We actually preferred your mixture better and the Herbed Mayo with a slice of tomato sent the burger over the top! Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for All Fired Up Grilling Photo Tag.

i used apple cider vinegar and added sugar in place of the balsamic vinegar. i fried regular sliced fresh mushrooms in olive oil and added them to my burger with cheese and it was delicious!

Tasty! Even better when 'shrooms can marinate in double-size batch of oil-vinegar mixture!
