Jamie Oliver-style mushroom sandwich

Sandwiches - Jamie Oliver-style mushroom sandwich by Eleonora G. - Recipia

This Jamie Oliver-style mushroom sandwich starts with mushrooms browned on the grill for 5-6 minutes, then baked in the oven as part of the sandwich. The ciabatta is filled with melted cheese, browned pears and bacon, tomato and lemon cream cheese; the bread stays crisp only at first. I like to let the filling reach all the way to the edge of the ciabatta. Preparation: 10 minutes. Cooking: 19 minutes. Total time: 29 minutes. Serves: 2. Approximately 1000 kcal and 40 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 7 brown button mushrooms
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 100 g semi-hard cheese
  • 1 ciabatta (250 g)
  • 2 medium pears (340 g)
  • 4 bacon rashers (60 g)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 140 g Delaco cream cheese
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tomato (120 g)

Preparation

1. Wipe the mushrooms clean, grate the cheese and peel the garlic. Grate the zest from half the lemon and squeeze the juice. 2. Put the mushrooms on a grill pan on the stovetop and cook for 6 minutes, until browned. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon thyme. 3. Press a little garlic into each mushroom and top with grated cheese. Bake at 200°C for 5 minutes, until the cheese melts. Put the ciabatta in the oven too for the last 3 minutes. 4. Slice the pears and put them on the same grill pan, alongside the bacon rashers. Cook for 5 minutes, until browned, then drizzle the pears with 1 teaspoon honey. 5. Mix the cream cheese with the grated lemon zest and juice. Thinly slice the tomato; this takes about 3 minutes, while the mushrooms are in the oven. 6. Cut the ciabatta in half and put the tomato, mushrooms, pears and bacon on one half. Spread the lemon cream cheese on top and cover with the other half.

Notes

I serve it with a simple green salad, without any other dressing. Mushrooms of a similar size cook evenly, while larger ones may need another minute on the grill. Choose pears that are still firm; very soft ones break when you turn them. If the bread softens before it gets to the table, assemble the sandwiches just before serving. For a gluten-free version, put the filling in gluten-free bread; in the regular version, the ciabatta contains gluten, and both cheeses contain dairy.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of mushrooms hold the filling better?

Brown button mushrooms with caps measuring 4-5 cm stay whole on the grill. Wipe them with a brush before cooking.

Can I replace the pears with apple?

Yes, use a firm apple weighing about 150 g and cut it into 5 mm slices. Brown the slices on the grill and add the honey after turning them.

Does mozzarella work instead of the cheese?

Use 100 g low-moisture pizza mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella releases more whey and may soften the ciabatta.
