Vegan Beer Battered Mushroom Burger
Hello & Happy Friday!!
I’ve never been a “beer person”, but I ironically love foods with a hint of beer! From beer cheese to beer cheese soup and even beer batters..
it makes for a fun recipe that keeps your tastebuds on their toes!
This recipe came to life while going through my latest beer phase the other month and sadly got left behind! The warm weather hit and I had so many other recipes I rolled that I kept forgetting to share it, but it’s oh so good!
What’s fab about this recipe is, everything! It’s baked not fried, you can enjoy it sans beer cheese if you’re working with less time and just switch up the toppings, it’s quick, easy, each component can be used in other dishes, crispy, involves staple ingredients, perf for every season, and non vegan approved!
If you’re searching for a game changing recipe that will make you look like an iron chef, you have to try this staple vegan Beer Battered Mushroom Burger with Beer Cheese!
Why this recipe rocks:
Quick
Easy
Involves staple ingredients
Multiple textures
Cheesy
Notes of beer
Perf for every season!
