Ingredients

• 2 large Portabella mushroom caps
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 Ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread
• 6 large Fresh basil leaves
• 1 Tomato, thickly sliced
• 4 ounces Mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional)
• 1 cup Mixed greens or arugula (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems, if any, and pat them dry.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the portabella mushrooms generously with the olive oil mixture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.

Step 5

Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until tender and juicy.

Step 6

While the mushrooms are roasting, slice the ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread in half and toast them lightly, if desired.

Step 7

Spread mayonnaise, if using, on the inside of each bread half.

Step 8

Once the mushrooms are done, assemble the sandwiches. Layer one mushroom cap on the bottom half of each bread piece.

Step 9

Top the mushroom with fresh basil leaves, a slice or two of tomato, 2 ounces of mozzarella cheese, and a handful of mixed greens or arugula, if using.

Step 10

Close the sandwiches with the top half of the bread and press gently to secure.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Portabella Basil Tomato Sandwich!
