Photo: Heart Shaped Portobello Panini Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 sun-dried tomatoes
- 4 portobello mushroom caps, 2 ounces each
- 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions
Reconstitute the sun-dried tomatoes by soaking them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from the water and chop them.
Slice the stems off of the mushrooms so they can lay completely flat. Slice each cap in half so you have 8 round mushroom slices. Carefully cut each slice into a heart shape with a cookie cutter.
Top half of the heart shaped mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of cheese. Top with remaining mushroom slices. Brush the top side of each "sandwich" with olive oil.
Preheat a large, nonstick skillet or grill pan. Place the mushroom sandwiches in the pan carefully, oil side down, and cook for 2 minutes. Brush the top half with oil, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Great recipe. Why waste some of the portobello by cutting it into a shape. Use it all. I have made this many times and today I used gruyere cheese in place of the gorgonzola - not as strong taste. I love it both ways. I also use a dipping sauce of soy sauce and a little sesame oil added. I make the sauce up and keep it in the frig. Use it for lots of things. Nice addition. Also if you have a Food Network 4 in 1 grill it makes this sooooo easy. Love Food Network recipes, dishes and cookware.

I really liked these, but I used feta cheese, I am not a big fan of gorgonzola cheese. Plus I added some sautéed spinach. My husband even put his on a ciabatta bun.

I love any type of mushrooms but I think the cheese used in this dish was too strong. I would like to try this with a different type of cheese.
