Savory grilled mushrooms are piled high with the usual burger fixings and a very tasty basil-mayo sauce. Grilling the breads adds a delicious crusty, charred flavor to the sandwich. You can make the mayo ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. You can also double the recipe to serve with other sandwiches and store in airtight jars in the refrigerator. To easily chop the basil in this recipe, pull the leaves off the stems and stack several leaves together. Slice the stack into thin strips and then slice again multiple times until the basil is the desired size. Serve the sandwiches with a simple fruit salad.
