"1UP Mushroom" Mushroom Burger!

Step 3: My anaconda don't get none unless you got buns, hun.

While the patties are cooking, it's the ideal time for prepping the buns. Mix the water and food coloring together in a small bowl. Brush the outer part of the top halves with the green solution. This is the time for personal judgment. Food dyes differ, and buns differ. I suggest have a throwaway bun ready to use it as your first trial bun for coloring. If the color is too strong, dilute with water and try to reach the optimal solution. This is why using crusty, hearty breads is better than using airy, porous soft buns-- they don't turn into soggy mush.

The green will look really vibrant at first, but it will gradually mute down as the buns dry.

Using a shot glass or a small bottle cap, punch holes into the slices of cheese to make small circles. This is for the mushroom spots on top of the buns. Each slice yields about 5 small circles.

After coloring the buns, place it on grill (color face up) to toast and give it some heat. Remove from grill after a light toast. Place the cheese circles onto the colored surface to resemble the mushroom spots. The warmth of the bread will make the cheese stick.

You should try using mate tea for the green - on the opposite to the food additive(s), it's gonna be light brown first and then will get green (or dark green) after drying out/air contact.

Have you tried food-colouring the buns with Pesto (or maybe adding the food colouring *to* the Pesto to 'make the colour stick')? :)

Just a thought... (i have yet to try this recipe myself.. x.X ' )
