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

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
Your sammie looks like a total winner!
I 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!
Yum! Gotta love those portabella’s! My sister is going to lovve this
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!
That looks exquisite!
My boyfriend and I have the mushroom debate pretty much EVERY time we go out to eat…I LOVE THEM and he HATES them
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.

This sounds super yummy!
Oooh! Goat cheese is so yummy! Is there anything that doesn’t taste better with goat cheese?! Gosh, I miss cheese!
goat cheese always makes it better…i can’t say i’ve ever tried mushrooms and goat cheese together but it sounds amazing!
Mmmm 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!
Looks great! My hubs loves mushrooms too, but only when they are mounded on top of a big steak
This does look like a super awesome sandwich!
That’s it! I’m making this in a brown rice tortilla.
Why gills scraped out?! I love gills!
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.
So simple but these sound delicious!
I LOVE mushroom sandwiches! SO good!

MMM … I have portabellas in the fridge and I was thinking of stuffing them, but you may have just changed my mind …
When I see a portabella mushroom sandwich on a menu for lunch, I know immediately what I’m getting. The goat cheese combo is perfect.
Goats cheese makes everything, everything better. Except Bieber. Even goats cheese can’t save The Bieber.
I’ve been looking for a portabella mushroom recipe for a long time! This one looks super easy and tasty. Thanks!
Kind of simple… but why not ?
I 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!
This sounds like the perfect lunch! Yum!
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
because of the smell…. 
Mmmm. Looks delicious!
You 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!
This 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?
This looks so yummy, even though it sounds like the simplest recipe ever. And those buns- they look so fluffy and I love the seeds!
Yes. yes. YES.
I have just died the most glorious death.
love the flavors! yum.
goat cheese makes EVERYTHING better…
We 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!
Mmm…I love portabella burgers. This one takes the cake!….oooo, speaking of which, cakeeee!
This looks really good.
I love grilled ‘bellas, they are so good, and so hearty!
Wow, those look amazing! why, oh why won’t my BF eat mushrooms?!
The 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.
I 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.
wow this looks so easy and delicious – can’t go wrong!
I 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!!!
omg yum
Mmmmnom. I used to hate mushrooms, but now I’m happy to say that I’ve come to the dark side.
mmm, this looks delectable! i love portobello mushrooms
xo ~ ks
Oh my!! These look so good! Beautiful pics too!!
That is something I would say, isn’t it?
Try grilled portobello with bleu cheese and a balsamic reduction. Delish!
Ok, so apparently I’m the only clueless one reading the website. What exactly is the “gills”? Sorry!
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.
Printed this one! It looks so comforting for fall. Hope to make this soon!!!
Huge fan of this sandwich! I love this as a good go-to satisfying meal!
Portobellos and goat cheese?! Yes please!
What an adorable recipe Jenna!
Portabelleas are a perfect meat substitute due to their, well, meaty texture! lol
Looks delish! Thanks for posting this!
Yum, sounds so good and so easy to make!
We both posted portobello recipes today:)
Wow that looks delicious! I definitely want to try making that
yum, I’m a sucker for anything with goat cheese!
These look amazing – I just found out that I have hereditary high cholesterol (a total shock), and am looking for more veggie options. Perfect!
This 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!!
I’m certain I’d absolutely LOVE this sandwich! Mushrooms are my favorite. thing. ever. Next to peanut butter, of course
.
mmmm I am drooling! I made roasted portobellos the other night and I already have another pack from TJ’s in the fridge
can’t wait to make them again. they’re so meaty!!
YUM! Even better when the goat cheese is also grilled!
Wow! Must. Have. Tonight.
I just finished eating this for an easy lunch before heading out of the house. Really yummy. Good for the diet because the calories are so low. Thanks!
I skipped the mustard, but still sooo good!
