Once browned, place the mushrooms on an oven tray, season with salt and pepper and place in the oven for 5 minutes or until they have softened. Set aside in a warm resting place.
3. For the bread: Once you pull the mushrooms out of the oven this is a good time to bake your fresh bread, place the burger buns into the oven for 8-10 minutes, when ready remove from the oven and slice in half to get ready for burger assembly.
4. For the filling: In a pan, heat some more olive oil and add the onion rings, drizzle them with balsamic vinegar and cook for 3 minutes on either side or until they have cooked right through and caramelized. Once cooked remove from the pan and leave aside in a warm place. Add a little more oil to the pan, add the spinach and the garlic, cook for 2 minutes or until the spinach leaves have wilted down. Set aside with the onion rings.
5. To serve: Start by dividing the spinach over the bases of the burger buns, then the onion, then the mushrooms, followed by the sundried tomato. Serve and enjoy!
