Best Portabella Pesto Focaccia Sandwich Recipes

PORTABELLA FOCACCIA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat oil in 10-inch skillet; add peppers and onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until peppers and onion begin to soften (6 to 8 minutes). Add mushrooms. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened (10 to 12 minutes).
• Spread foccacia bread halves with mustard; top one half with mushroom mixture and cheese. Cover with top half of focaccia; cut into 8 wedges.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, shallots, salt and pepper. Arrange the mushroom caps in a single layer in a shallow, nonreactive dish. Pour half the marinade over the mushrooms and reserve the remainder. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes.
• Prepare a fire in a grill. Lightly oil the grill rack. When the coals are hot, remove the mushrooms from the marinade, place on the grill rack and weigh with a large fry pan. Grill the mushrooms until tender and seared on both sides, about 4 minutes total.
• Drizzle about 1 Tb of the reserved marinade on each roll half. Place a mushroom on the bottom half of each roll. Sprinkle the top half with goat cheese, then cover with sun-dried tomatoes and basil leaves. Place the halves together. Secure each sandwich with toothpicks, cut in half, and wrap in aluminum foil. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

ROASTED PORTOBELLOS WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, and carefully scrape away the gills using a spoon. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid. Remove from the heat and fill with the pesto. Return to the oven and continue to roast until thoroughly softened, about 10 more minutes.
