Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Step 2
In a small, shallow bowl, using a fork, whisk the Worcestershire, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Using a damp paper towel, clean the mushroom to remove any visible dirt. Then brush the Worcestershire mixture evenly over both sides. Grill it, beginning gills-side down, away from direct flame until tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, top the gills evenly with the blue cheese to melt it, and toast the bun by placing the bunhalves, insides face down, on a top grill rack or away from the flame for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Place the bun bottom on a small plate. Top it with the mushroom, followed by the lettuce, then the onion. Spread the inside of the bun top with mustard, if desired, and top the burger. Serve immediately.
