Macaroni Recipe: Grilled Portabella Sandwich

By Heather Wirtz - Cranston, RI June 22, 2012

Makes 2 sandwiches

 

Portabella Mushroom (2 large or 4 medium size)

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 cup balsamic vinegar

2-4 slices extra sharp cheddar cheese

*Ciabatta bread (2 rolls or a loaf)

Olive oil

 

  1. Rinse off mushrooms and if the stems are attached, trim them (I also scrape the gills/underside off with a spoon).
  2. Put mushrooms in a bowl and add balsamic vinegar. Let sit for about an hour.
  3. Preheat grill and then cook mushrooms over high heat for about 5 minutes on each side.
  4. Towards the end of cooking, add cheese so that it melts.
  5. Remove mushrooms from grill.

 

Time to build the sandwich!

*Ciabatta bread is great heated in the oven before using, if you would like to do this, preheat the oven to 350 and then place the bread in oven for 8-10 minutes.

 

  1. Slice rolls in half or divide and slice loaf.
  2. Drizzle olive oil on the inside of each roll.
  3. Put spinach on roll and then place 1-2 mushrooms on top.
  4. Put the sandwich together and ENJOY!
