Top tips for making a grilled oyster mushroom sandwich:
- Keep the mushrooms in large chunks. For the best results we like to use oyster mushroom chunks roughly the size of a small chicken breast. Depending on the size of the buns you’re using, we recommend the oyster mushroom chunks should be big enough for one or two pieces per sandwich.
- Grill the buns. Because this sandwich, while delicious, is simpler it calls for small flavourful additions that don’t take a lot of effort. Grilling buns is a great way to do this. Pop them onto the grill for a few minutes at the end until light and toasty. For an even better result, we recommend using our homemade burger bun recipe.
Ingredient Notes:
- Oyster Mushrooms – We us oyster mushrooms, not to be confused with king oyster mushrooms. They are much smaller and usually sold in clumps. Aim to buy these in large chunks for the best sandwich results.
- Sweet Bread Buns – We use our homemade burger bun recipe that’s a slightly sweet and perfectly golden bun. It’s the perfect topper for this delicious sandwich.
- Seasonings – We use a blend of seasonings that provide a chicken-like familiarity. However you can adjust the seasoning to your liking.
