Remove the stems from the portobello mushroom caps.

Place the mushroom caps face down on a plate, cover with saran wrap, and microwave for 5 minutes.

After microwaving, cut out the middle of the softened mushroom caps to create space for the cheese filling.

Prepare the cheese filling by mixing shredded Monterey Jack cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, kosher salt, pepper, barbecue seasoning, chopped green onions, and Japanese mayo in a bowl.

Stuff the cheese filling into each mushroom cap, ensuring it stays inside.

Press the two mushroom caps together to form a sandwich and wrap them in saran wrap.

Refrigerate the stuffed mushroom caps for 15-20 minutes to firm up the filling.

Prepare for frying by setting up a breading station (not detailed in the transcript).

Deep fry the stuffed mushroom caps until golden brown (exact time not specified).

Cook the burger patties (not detailed in the transcript).

Assemble the burger with the fried portobello on top.
