Sunny Ports on Ciabatta

Sunny Ports on Ciabatta
-Jens Creation


Here's what you need:
  • 4 Ciabatta Rolls
  • 4 large Portabella Mushrooms, stems removed
  • Olive Oil
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Fresh Ground Pepper & Sea Salt
  • Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, about 6 ounces (please don't use the brick kind as it just won't come out as yummy!!)
  • Oil Packed Sun-dried Tomatoes
  • Fresh Spinach Leaves, stems removed
  • Pesto Mayonnaise


Here's what you do:
-Heat over to 400 Degrees
-Arrange the mushrooms, stem side up, on pan and drizzle each with 1t. olive oil, 1/4 t. Italian seasoning and a good grind of the pepper & salt
-Roast in oven for about 15-20 or until fork tender.  Drain off any liquids

-Cut the Ciabatta rolls in half and place in oven, right on the rack, to lightly toast
-Remove rolls from oven

-Spread bottom and top with desired about of Pesto Mayo (recipe below)
-Pile up with the spinach leaves, the Portabella (stem side up to hold the cheese nicely), a slice of fresh Mozzarella and approximately 1T. Sun-dried Tomatoes. (Don't drain since some of the oil makes it delish!)

Serve immediately while the mushrooms are still warm

Variation:  You can drizzle the finished sandwich with a bit of Balsamic Vinegar to give it an extra good taste.

Serves: 4


Pesto Mayonnaise

1/2 c. Mayonnaise
2 T. Prepared Pesto

"very yummy sandwiches!"

These made us all simply happy!!
