roasted portabella and goat cheese sammies

This.is.a.winner.

And may, just possibly, be the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten.

Ok, I’m lying. The best sandwich I’ve ever eaten was a pulled pork sandwich with spicy carolina barbecue sauce from Bessingers in Charleston.

But this is a close second! And, as mama pea would say, no one died to make it.

Pump, juicy roasted portabellas sprinkled with sea salt and olive oil and smothered in goat cheese between a fluffy hamburger bun. And ready in only 15 minutes? Can you say lunch is served?

I have to say, I felt a liiiiiittle guilty making these without Adam. The guy loves his mushrooms and I’m thankful for it.

He also loves his pulled pork…and I’m thankful for that, too.

Roasted Portabella and Goat Cheese Sammies

makes two big sammies

Print this recipe!

Ingredients:

2 large portabella mushroom caps, stems twisted off and “gills’ scraped out with a spoon

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

1/4 tsp salt, divided

2-4 tbsp soft goat cheese

2 whole grain hamburger buns for serving

dijon mustard for serving

lettuce for serving

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil.

Rub each mushroom with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle generously with salt. Place gill side up on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, turning mushroom caps over midway through cooking.

To prepare sammies, toast hamburger buns (or stick in the oven for the last few minutes of roasting). Spread dijon mustard on each bun and top with lettuce. When mushrooms are done roasting, spread each liberally with goat cheese and place in sandwich.

Time:

40 minutes

    Mmmm, I love grilled portabella mushrooms..big time! They are so hearty and full of flavor.

    I like that you baked yours rather than pan-frying b/c that’s just…easier to me πŸ™‚

    Your sammie looks like a total winner!

    Love big ol’ mushrooms in sandwiches–so hearty! And you can spread goat cheese on my kitchen table and I’m likely to take a bite. I’m a slave to the stuff. This sounds great and your photos are fantastic!

    My boyfriend and I have the mushroom debate pretty much EVERY time we go out to eat…I LOVE THEM and he HATES them πŸ™

    So I can never cook many mushroomy dishes at home….which is why I ALWAYS get portabella sandwiches whenever we are out! This looks like a winner!

    Have tried this combination before and it is definitely a winner! My change would be to use a baguette style bread (roast garlic is delicious) instead of traditional hamburger bun to add a little more flavor.

    • Jen
      September 21, 2011 at 5:24 am

      Me too. I assume the gills would “stick up” in the sandwich though….
      I’ve always heard of portobello burgers but have never made them. Partial to my meat. But pair anything with goat cheese and you can’t go wrong I guess.

    I loveee the collard greens as your stand in linen!! Gives the mushroom scene even more of an earthy feel. SOmething about portabellas I’m not crazy about. I love buttons, but I think the texture is a little much for me with how big they are.

    They serve the exact combination at a small italian deli my my office, I get it for lunch sometimes and it is delicious, but it may sound strange I ask for feta instead of goad cheese, I just dont like it and I tried to like it πŸ™ because of the smell…. πŸ™

  • Holly @ The Runny Egg

      When you flip a mushroom cap over and look at the side where the stem attaches, there are thin, dark and kinda rubbery fins in there. I scrape them out because they can release a lot of water which is not bueno for roasting.
