Description:
Indulge in the delightful flavors of Open-Face Portabella Sandwiches, a satisfying dish that’s perfect for lunch or a snack. With juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and tender portabella mushrooms, this recipe offers a burst of freshness in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 fresh portabella mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 loaf focaccia bread
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the broiler.
- In a small bowl, combine diced tomato, chopped basil, and salt. Set aside this flavorful mixture.
- Clean the portabella mushrooms and cut off the stems so they’re even with the caps. Discard the stems.
- In another bowl, mix red wine vinegar and olive oil. Gently brush this mixture over the mushrooms, ensuring they’re well-coated.
- Place the mushrooms on the unheated rack of the broiler pan. Broil them for 6 to 8 minutes, keeping them 4 to 5 inches from the heat source. Remember to turn them once during cooking. The mushrooms should be tender when done.
- Drain the cooked mushrooms on paper towels, then thinly slice them.
- Arrange the focaccia bread slices on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they’re heated through and slightly toasted.
- To assemble, place the toasted bread slices on serving plates. Top each slice with the sliced portabella mushrooms and the tomato-basil mixture.
- For an extra indulgent touch, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
