Grilled Portabella Sandwiches

[Guest guest]

This is my favorite Portabella recipe. I use Asiago cheese and not as much

cheese as is called for in the recipe.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar

1/2 Cup Olive Oil

1 Tbs Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1 Tsp Salt

Juice Of 1 Lemon

2 Cloves Garlic -- minced

1 Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1 Lb Portabella Mushrooms, Stems Removed -- sliced 3/4 "

thick

2 Baguettes

1 Lb Manchego Cheese, Cut In 1/8 " Slices -- see note

2 Beefsteak Tomatoes, Sliced -- optional

 

Prepare the marinade by combining the vinegar, oil, red pepper flakes,

salt, lemon juice, garlic and black pepper. Add the mushrooms and let sit

20 minutes.

Prepare a grill and grill the mushrooms, or saute them in a hot, heavy

skillet, 3 minutes on each side.

Preheat the broiler. Cut each baguette crosswise into 6 " lengths, slice

the pieces lengthwise, and drizzle the inside with olive oil and any

remaining marinade. Broil briefly to brown lightly. Remove top pieces of

bread from the broiler and set aside. Arrange mushrooms on the bottom

pieces of bread, place a slice of cheese on top of the mushrooms and broil

until the cheese starts to melt. Remove from the oven and top with the

tomato slices, close with the remaining slices of bread and serve.

NOTES : *Asiago cheese can be used in place of Manchego cheese.

I used less than half of the amount of cheese called for, and it

was plenty.
