Panko Crusted Portobello Mushroom with Boursin, Braised Kale, and Heirloom Tomato
I recently recreated a panko crusted portobello mushroom with Boursin, braised kale, and heirloom tomato that I had on a date with my husband recently. My husband and I thought it was excellent and just as good as the restaurant, and our son, who doesn’t like mushrooms, loved it, and my daughter liked it too. I loved that the mushrooms were crispy but not greasy and the melted Boursin cheese was creamy and delicious.
How to Make a Panko Crusted Portobello Mushroom with Boursin, Braised Kale, and Heirloom Tomato
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees – use a convection setting if possible. Line a baking sheet with tin foil then coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Combine the egg and milk together with some sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Pour the panko crumbs onto a large plate.
Dip the mushroom into the egg mixture and then into the panko crumb mixture until both sides are evenly coated. Place the mushroom onto the lined baking sheet stem side up. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
Place the mushrooms into the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes.
While the mushrooms are baking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic slivers and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the kale and crushed red pepper flakes then cook, stirring constantly for 30 seconds. Add the broth to the pan then cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Place a dollop of cheese into each center (bowl) of the mushrooms. Place back into the oven and cook for 7-10 minutes or until the mushrooms are done and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven; set aside. Toast the buns in the oven, if desired.
Place the mushroom on the toasted bun then add some drained kale and an heirloom tomato slice followed by the other bun. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Looks very delicious, a great,flavorful alternative to a meat burger!
Looks like a delicious sandwich Pam and a nice alternative to a burger.
Sounds good Pam!
Love this Pam! Portobellos are so meaty and delicious. I love to try to duplicate a recipe I have had in a restaurant, and especially love it when i prefect it!
It’s always fun to recreate a meal you loved in a restaurant. I’m with your son – no fan of mushrooms – but the whole burger looks very appealing.
Oh my gosh these sound wonderful! When I go meatless, portobello mushrooms are always my go-to, but I’ve never tried them as a burger!
This looks like a very satisfying sandwich.
That’s a great vegetarian sandwich!
Way to go recreating an awesome restaurant meal! I’m usually not to into portobellos, but when they’re crusted in panko like that, all bets are off.
I could eat Boursin by itself with a spoon so I know I’d love this great burger. No wonder you liked it at the pub!
I made this the other night and we loved it. I did have to alter it just a bit–goat cheese with some garlic and herbs (all I had) and we didn’t eat it on bread just ate it as it. We really enjoyed it thanks so much!
Wow! I love all of these ingredients! I’m late to the panko game. So now I’ve started using it often. What a nice crunch! Way more fun than regular bread crumbs.
