- The portabella mushrooms will serve as the “burger buns”. Use one mushroom, the outer part of the mushroom as a base and stuff the hollow part of the mushroom first with spinach. Use a metal spoon to add the fresh goat cheese, then add the grated lemon zest. Finally top with the other mushroom.
- Serve burger as any other burger, or you can serve with knife and fork.
