Grilled Portabella Sandwiches or Panini

Vicki in CT's Note:

Great vegetarian sandwich. Can make on outdoor grill, panini press, or skillet. These are even better the next day. From Jenny :)

Made these for dinner tonight. Cooked the mushrooms on the grill outside while the onions I cooked "slow and low" on the stove top. When I make these next time I think I will only use 1 onion as DH and I are the only ones who ate them so we have lots left over. I marinated the minimum 30 minutes but will do longer next time and as always, i added extra garlic. If I cook the mushrooms and onions separately again I may make a batch of the marinade for each for even more flavor. Great summer time meal. Thanks!

Amazing! I added a slice of provolone to top it off. I can't wait to make these again.

Made for ZWT4. Italian Panini Challenge. This little sandwich was very tasty. And easy! We loved the garlic in it, and DBF added aged provolone, and home cooked ham. I added shredded carrots and tomato slices. We have several vegetarian family members that will enjoy this next time we get together. Did take photos, but I think I need a course…. They were not as good as the ones already there.
