Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb portabella mushroom, gently wiped clean with a damp paper towel
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small focaccia bread, loaf
7 (1 ounce) packages fresh goat cheese, such as Chavrie, sliced in 4 equal slices lengthwise
1 small bunch arugula (can substitute spinach)
2 tablespoons truffle oil

Steps:

Preheat panini grill or sandwich press to high.
Remove the gills from the portobello mushrooms and marinate with olive oil.
Grill the mushrooms until tender, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set on a paper towel to drain. Cut the focaccia into 4 pieces, slice them horizontally, and drizzle with some olive oil.
Lay the 4 bottom slices of focaccia on a flat surface. Layer mushrooms evenly on each slice. Place a slice of goat cheese on each piece. Top with arugula and drizzle with truffle oil.
Put the tops on and gently press each sandwich to flatten it slightly. Drizzle some more olive oil over the tops. Place each sandwich on a preheated panini press and grill until the bread is toasted and the cheese is bubbly. Serve immediately.
