Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 rolls Ciabatta bread
• 4 ounces Goat cheese
• 2 cups Arugula
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Clean the Portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish, gill side up, and brush the marinade over both sides of each mushroom. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the mushrooms marinate, preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Split the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly butter the cut sides.

Step 6

Toast the ciabatta rolls on the grill pan or skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the grill pan or skillet and cook the mushrooms, gill side down first, for 4-5 minutes per side until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted roll.

Step 9

Top each with a cooked Portobello mushroom, 1 ounce of goat cheese, a handful of arugula, and a few slices of red onion.

Step 10

Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich and press gently.

Step 11

Serve immediately while warm.
