Ingredients
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of your favorite bread ciabatta or whole grain works well
- 4 slices of cheese e.g., provolone, mozzarella, or goat cheese
- Fresh spinach or arugula
- 1 tomato sliced
- Balsamic glaze optional
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Clean the Portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place the mushrooms on the grill, gill side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred. Add the cheese slices on top of the mushrooms in the last couple of minutes to melt.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, lightly toast the bread on the grill or in a toaster.
- Layer the grilled Portobello mushrooms with melted cheese on the toasted bread. Top with fresh spinach or arugula and tomato slices. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
- Close the sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use whole grain or sprouted bread for more fiber.
- Swap cheese for a lighter option (like feta or reduced-fat cheese) if cutting fat.
- Reduce olive oil slightly to lower calories.
- Add avocado for heart-healthy fats and creaminess.
