Ingredients

Ingredients

2 lg. portabella mushroom caps
4 slices gouda cheese (smoked gouda is awesome!)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, sliced
2 tsp. fresh thyme
2 slices ripe tomato
2 rolls or
4 slices French bread, lightly toasted or
grilled

Garlic Mayonnaise

2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. red onion, minced
1 tsp. fresh thyme, minced
1-1/2 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced

Instructions

Clean mushrooms and remove the stems. Combine 2 tbsp. olive oil, sliced garlic and 2 tsp. fresh thyme in a plastic zipper bag. Add the mushroom caps and marinate for at least 45 minutes. In the meantime, combine the ingredients for the Garlic Mayonnaise and allow to mellow in the refrigerator.

When mushroom caps are ready, heat a little of the olive oil marinade in a skillet (about a tbsp.) and saute for about 5 minutes, stem side down, including as much of the garlic and thyme from the marinade as possible. Turn mushroom caps over and top with cheese slices. Cover skillet and cook for another 5 minutes or so or until cheese is melted (it melts quickly). Serve with tomato on toasted or grilled rolls or French bread and spread with the Garlic Mayonnaise.

Author's Comments

I prefer a good portabella sandwich to a veggie burger any day! This one is garlicky, juicy and cheesy; it can be grilled or sauteed. Prep time includes marinating the mushrooms.
