- 34 cup olive oil
- 5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 12 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 12 teaspoon pepper
- salt
- 4 portabello mushrooms, thin sliced (4 slices each, 1-2 large slices per sandwich)
- 1 small red onion, cut in half and sliced
- 4 yellow tomatoes (you want 8 slices total)
- 1 cup roasted red pepper, chopped (just a jar from the grocery store)
- red leaf lettuce
- 16 slices monterey jack pepper cheese (not too thin)
- 16 small hamburger buns (slider rolls lightly grilled)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Method
- Aioli -- Just mix the mayonnaise, basil, thyme, garlic and set to the side in a small bowl and refrigerate.
- Marinade -- Mix the balsamic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic and pepper in a 13x9 pan.
- Add the mushroom slices and onion slices and make sure to coat both sides.
- Let marinade 15-20 minutes and then add in the tomato slices, and again coat on both sides.
- Marinate another 10 minutes.
- Prepare Your Ingredients -- Make sure you have 16 nice slices of pepperjack cheese ready.
- And remember, these are small buns so you may only need 8 slices cut in half, depending on the size you buy.
- I like to lightly toast my buns which you can do ahead right on the grill pan that you will be grilling your mushrooms on.
- Just do the buns first.
- Grilling -- I like to take my small grill pan, but you can also use just a saute pan.
- Spray your pan with PAM or any non stick spray and heat to medium high and first put on the mushrooms and onions.
- Cook until the mushrooms and onions are soft and there are nice grill marks.
- Remove to a plate and cover.
- Add the tomatoes and grill just a minute or two, you just want to warm them up.
- Not too soft.
- Sandwiches -- Now, heat up the broiler.
- On your lightly toasted buns, add a little of the aioli, then mushrooms, red peppers, onions, tomato slice, and cheese.
- Melt the sandwich under the broiler.
- Top with the lettuce and other sandwich top also spread with the aioli.
- Just ENJOY!
- Serve with some old fashioned fries or onion rings, some herb potato salad would be great.
