White Truffle Oil Parmesan & Portobello Sandwich

Most people who meet me instantly realize I am obsessed with mushrooms {obsessed with a capital O, obviously}. So it’s always been great for me as a vegetarian to find portobello burgers and sandwiches whenever I go out. But I didn’t try white truffle oil until a few years ago {which is olive oil with the white truffle essence}. I instantly fell in love {it is my new official go-to for pastas and pizzas} and decided to try making my classic portobello sandwich using the white truffle oil for my flame roasted mushroom. Paired with parmesan, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and chèvre, it created a flavorful punch to every bite. And well, the white truffle oil infused flame roasted portobello had the most intense flavor which I plan to recreate every time I sauté or serve mushrooms.

White Truffle Oil Parmesan & Portobello Sandwich
 
Ingredients:
1 Portobello Mushroom
2 Tablespoons White Truffle Oil
2 Slices Bread
Spinach
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Parmesan Cheese
Chèvre
Cooking Spray
 
 
Recipe:
1. Over a low flame, toast two slices of bread with a splash of cooking spray. Once toasted, sprinkle each slice with parmesan cheese and broil on high for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add fresh spinach leaves to one slice of bread and sun dried tomatoes to the other.
3. On a high flame, being flame roasting a large portobello mushroom with the white truffle oil. Note: If more oil is required, either add a plain cooking spray {I used canola oil} or more a more indulgent option, add more truffle oil.
4. Once the mushroom is cooked, stuff the middle with the goat cheese and place it in the sandwich.
5. Slice the sandwich and enjoy!

A Dose of Pretty

{Holiday lights, hot chocolate, + the prettiest invitation for an event in Newport last weekend.}

I still can’t believe we’re already over a week into December, in the midst of the holiday season, and 2023 will be here in just over three weeks. I’m trying to remind myself to slow down and savor each moment since I love this time of year. There is, after all, extra magic in the air during the holidays. Thus, in my attempt to be more mindful of every moment, this week I loved getting to enjoy the light rain, seeing Christmas lights at night, admiring the moon eclipse Mars yesterday, and watched holiday movies that felt so very seasonally appropriate. This weekend I’m excited to stay home and enjoy the extra rainy weather that California needs, preferably curled up with more hot chocolate, holiday films, and with lots of puppy cuddles. I hope you have a great one as well!
