ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup sliced portobella mushroom cap
¹⁄₄ cup sliced red onion
4 -5 grape tomatoes, each sliced in half
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
¹⁄₄ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
salt
ground black pepper
2 slices sourdough bread or 2 slices ciabatta
butter, softened
1 slice provolone cheese
1 slice monterey jack cheese
1 teaspoon grey poupon country Dijon mustard

directions

Preheat broiler to high.
Combine portobella, onion and tomatoes with oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small roasting pan or over-safe skillet. Place mixture under broiler for 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables soften. Stir halfway through cooking time.
Preheat a griddle or large saute pan over medium heat. Lightly brown one side of each bread slice. Build sandwich on the browned side of one slice of bread. Lay a slice of provolone cheese on the bread. Spread mustard on cheese and then spoon the roasted vegetables over the top. Place the slice of Jack cheese on the veggies and then top off the sandwich with the other slice of bread (browned side facing cheese).
Spread a little butter on one side of the sandwich, then place the sandwich, butter-side-down, onto the griddle or hot pan. Spread a little butter on top of sandwich. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes or until browned. Flip sandwich and grill for another 1 to 2 minutes until brown. Slice diagonally and serve.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
