Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Portabella caps cleaned and stems removed
  • 1-2 thin slices of red onion
  • ¾ ounce of a mild cheese like Muenster- I used Mini Babybel Bonbel round perfect!
  • 2 roasted red pepper - I used the jarred piquillo kind
  • Sprinkle of kosher salt garlic powder and dried thyme

Instructions
 

  • Heat your George Forman or Panini Press. You could do this in a skillet but you would need to press down while cooking and then flip.
  • I sprayed a bit of non-stick spray as my grill is old. Place one Portabella upside down, layer on the sliced onion, then cheese, peppers and finally spices. If you are using a Laughing Cow round, simply cut it into three slices and scatter them on the cap. You can see my three sticking out in the picture above.

  • Top with the second Portabella cap and press. Now, if you are using the George Foreman like me, make sure to account for the shifting that will occur. When closing the top the grill will want to slide the top layer off. Just offset before closing and hold it in place with your finger.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes. Since I was using my foreman grill after 2 and half I rotated the mushroom around as it does cook uneven favoring the back. You would not have to do this in a traditional panini press.
  • Remove and wonder at your glorious creation!
