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
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

September 21, 2011 at 4:33 amMmmm, 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 π
Your sammie looks like a total winner!
Molly @ RDexposed
September 21, 2011 at 4:35 amI am just not sold on mushrooms. Texture issue? I may have to stick with your black bean burgers that I’ve already made countless times!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes
September 21, 2011 at 4:43 amYum! Gotta love those portabella’s! My sister is going to lovve this π
Jenn from Much to My Delight
September 21, 2011 at 4:45 amLove 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!
Wenderly
September 21, 2011 at 4:45 amThat looks exquisite!
Coco
September 21, 2011 at 4:46 amMy boyfriend and I have the mushroom debate pretty much EVERY time we go out to eat…I LOVE THEM and he HATES them π
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!
Natasha (OveLoves)
September 21, 2011 at 4:51 amHave 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.

September 21, 2011 at 4:53 amThis sounds super yummy!
Sally Anne @ PaleoRunnerGirl
September 21, 2011 at 4:55 amOooh! Goat cheese is so yummy! Is there anything that doesn’t taste better with goat cheese?! Gosh, I miss cheese!
Heather (Heather's Dish)
September 21, 2011 at 4:58 amgoat cheese always makes it better…i can’t say i’ve ever tried mushrooms and goat cheese together but it sounds amazing!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
September 21, 2011 at 4:58 amMmmm this sounds great! I love the meatiness of portabellas but haven’t had them in way too long. As a kid I hated cooked mushrooms… clearly back then I had no idea what I was missing. Great recipe Jenna!
Rachel @ Not Rachael Ray
September 21, 2011 at 5:08 amLooks great! My hubs loves mushrooms too, but only when they are mounded on top of a big steak π
Kathryn
September 21, 2011 at 5:10 amThis does look like a super awesome sandwich!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance
September 21, 2011 at 5:12 amThat’s it! I’m making this in a brown rice tortilla.
Donna
September 21, 2011 at 5:13 amWhy gills scraped out?! I love gills!
Jen
September 21, 2011 at 5:24 amMe 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.
katie @KatieDid
September 21, 2011 at 5:16 amI 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.
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat
September 21, 2011 at 5:18 amSo simple but these sound delicious!
Corey @ Learning Patience
September 21, 2011 at 5:19 amI LOVE mushroom sandwiches! SO good!

Caroline @ The G-Spot
September 21, 2011 at 5:31 amMMM … I have portabellas in the fridge and I was thinking of stuffing them, but you may have just changed my mind … π
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
September 21, 2011 at 5:45 amWhen I see a portabella mushroom sandwich on a menu for lunch, I know immediately what I’m getting. The goat cheese combo is perfect.
Hannah
September 21, 2011 at 5:45 amGoats cheese makes everything, everything better. Except Bieber. Even goats cheese can’t save The Bieber.
Anna @ Food Fitness and Frolicking
September 21, 2011 at 5:45 amI’ve been looking for a portabella mushroom recipe for a long time! This one looks super easy and tasty. Thanks!
Anne
September 21, 2011 at 5:46 amKind of simple… but why not ?
Kristen @ Popcorn on the Stove
September 21, 2011 at 5:51 amI love the idea but sans goat cheese (for some reason, I was never much a fan of it). Perfect sandwich for a quick lunch over the weekend!
Ashley
September 21, 2011 at 5:51 amThis sounds like the perfect lunch! Yum!
Caitlin @ Cake with Love
September 21, 2011 at 5:57 amThey 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 π because of the smell…. π
Mai
September 21, 2011 at 5:58 amMmmm. Looks delicious!
Cait's Plate
September 21, 2011 at 5:58 amYou know, every time I see portabella mushroom sandwiches/burgers i think how good they look but worry they’ll be too hard. This just confirms I am dead wrong. I love how simple yet still so delicious these are!
Holly @ The Runny Egg
September 21, 2011 at 6:10 amThis looks delicious — I love big portabellas but I don’t think I’ve ever prepared them at home — I guess I had no clue what to do with them?
Joelle (On A Pink Typewriter)
September 21, 2011 at 6:12 amThis looks so yummy, even though it sounds like the simplest recipe ever. And those buns- they look so fluffy and I love the seeds!

Carissa @ ChoiceSustenance
September 21, 2011 at 7:47 amWe love cooking the portabellas on the grill, but it’s coming up on winter and soon it’ll be too cold/covered in snow. This looks perfect for winter yumminess!
Caroline @ chocolate and carrots

Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine
September 21, 2011 at 8:34 amWow, those look amazing! why, oh why won’t my BF eat mushrooms?!
Lara @ TresLaLa
September 21, 2011 at 8:48 amThe hubby hates mushrooms. It has seriously killed me many times over. OK, maybe not seriously, but still… I’d swap arugula for the lettuce and add some roasted red peppers. Perfection.
Moni'sMeals
September 21, 2011 at 8:57 amI can tell this is a “winner” from a mile away! Looks fantastic and it is always a plus that no one died to make it. π
Christine @ The Pantry Drawer
September 21, 2011 at 9:01 amwow this looks so easy and delicious – can’t go wrong!
Anna
September 21, 2011 at 9:18 amI absolutely LOVE your blog and bello with goat cheese sandwiches.
The restaurant I work at has a similar sandwich on the menu(+roasted red peppers, on ciabatta bread), and I get it all the time!!!
Janna

September 21, 2011 at 10:15 amThat is something I would say, isn’t it? π
Courtney
September 21, 2011 at 10:30 amTry grilled portobello with bleu cheese and a balsamic reduction. Delish!
Jess
September 21, 2011 at 10:34 amOk, so apparently I’m the only clueless one reading the website. What exactly is the “gills”? Sorry!
Rebecca
September 25, 2011 at 11:37 amWhen 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.
gia
September 21, 2011 at 10:51 amPrinted this one! It looks so comforting for fall. Hope to make this soon!!!
Erica @ In and Around Town
September 21, 2011 at 10:52 amHuge fan of this sandwich! I love this as a good go-to satisfying meal!

Jessica @ Jess Go Bananas
September 21, 2011 at 12:48 pmPortabelleas are a perfect meat substitute due to their, well, meaty texture! lol

Pam
September 21, 2011 at 6:32 pmThis sounds like an awesome sandwich!! I like that you scrape the gills of the portabello, the gills gross me out, but I love them otherwise!
Will make this asap, thank you!!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing
September 21, 2011 at 7:51 pmI’m certain I’d absolutely LOVE this sandwich! Mushrooms are my favorite. thing. ever. Next to peanut butter, of course :).
Alexis @ hummusapien
September 21, 2011 at 8:38 pmmmmm I am drooling! I made roasted portobellos the other night and I already have another pack from TJ’s in the fridge π can’t wait to make them again. they’re so meaty!!
Khushboo
September 21, 2011 at 10:41 pmYUM! Even better when the goat cheese is also grilled!
