Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole grain or sourdough bread slices
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 large Tomato
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 small Red onion
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon if desired.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the mushroom caps.
Place the mushrooms, gill side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and juicy.
While the mushrooms bake, lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet.
Thinly slice the tomato and red onion. Set aside.
Once the mushrooms are out of the oven, preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Place the mushrooms gill side up again and add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on each cap. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
To assemble the sandwiches, place each slice of toasted bread on a plate. Layer fresh spinach on the bread, followed by one portabella mushroom cap per slice.
Top the melted cheese with slices of tomato, onion, and fresh basil leaves. Optionally, drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar or olive oil over the sandwich for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your open-faced portabella sandwiches!
