Start by discussing the portobello mushrooms and their growth process.

Cut the stem off the portobello mushrooms to make them flat.

Score the top of the mushrooms to release moisture while grilling.

Prepare a basting mixture with canola oil, fresh garlic, and fresh thyme.

Baste the mushrooms with the mixture while grilling them.

Mix 1/4 cup of chopped red onion and fresh thyme into the chèvre cheese, adding a bit of lemon juice.

Toast the burger buns until crunchy.

Spread a bit of the goat cheese mixture on the bottom of each toasted bun.

Place the grilled portobello mushroom on top of the goat cheese.

Add a slice of tomato and any other desired toppings, such as arugula.
