"1UP Mushroom" Mushroom Burger!

Step 4 The Fixings

Don't take the patties off the grill after they're done cooking. They should be resting on the top rack and it's time for the works. The goal of the next few steps is to make the burgers look like the white 1UP mushroom stem.

First, take a dollop of pesto and place it on each patty (still on the grill!). Align a tomato slice onto the the patty, over the pesto. Now you should have a nice little mini tower.

(*note: I'm kind of a tomato snob and I'm really picky about it. The tomato I used is a local black heirloom tomato that has a less gooey innards and is nicely tart. Since the mushroom, onion, and bun all have a nice sweetness to them, I wanted something more acidic in this burger, and that's why I opted to put in such a thick slice.)

Then take a large slice of the mozzarella cheese, aim and center, and place it on the tower. The goal is to have the cheese melt and drape over the tower without ripping. This is why the tomato slices should be at room temperature so the cheese won't have a difficult time to melt evenly. After the cheese has achieved the ideal drape, remove from grill and place it on the center of the bottom burger bun. Place the green bun on top, and there you have it, a "1UP Mushroom" Mushroom Burger!


It will jazz you up with enough energy to jump on goombas for a while in World 1-2 so you can get even more 1UPs! (Does everyone know that trick?)
