Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 cup arugula leaves
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined. This flavorful dressing will enhance the taste of the mushrooms and onions. |
| 2 | Using a pastry brush, generously spread the dressing onto both sides of the portabella mushroom caps, ensuring they are evenly coated. This step adds a burst of flavor to the mushrooms as they cook. |
| 3 | Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prepared mushroom caps to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and juicy. Turning them halfway through ensures even cooking and caramelization. |
| 4 | While the mushrooms are cooking, thinly slice the red onion. Once the mushrooms have been flipped, add the sliced onions to the skillet alongside them. Cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, or until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized. |
| 5 | While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, toast the slices of hearty bread until they are golden brown and crisp. This step adds a delightful crunch to the sandwiches and prevents them from becoming soggy. |
| 6 | Once the mushrooms and onions are cooked to perfection, it’s time to assemble the sandwiches. Begin by spreading a generous amount of crumbled goat cheese onto the bottom half of each toasted bread slice. The creamy goat cheese adds a tangy richness to the sandwiches. |
| 7 | Next, layer a handful of fresh arugula leaves on top of the goat cheese. The peppery arugula adds a vibrant burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch to each bite. |
| 8 | Carefully place a cooked mushroom cap on top of the arugula, followed by a spoonful of the caramelized onions. This creates a delicious medley of textures and flavors in every mouthful. |
| 9 | Finally, top each sandwich with the remaining toasted bread slices to complete the assembly. Press down gently to ensure the ingredients are nicely packed together. |
| 10 | Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately, while the bread is still warm and the cheese is gooey. Enjoy these Mushroom & Goat Cheese Sandwiches as a hearty lunch or a satisfying snack! |
