Melty Portobella Sandwiches


I got this recipe from my mom, she found it in a magazine. It is fast and so yummy, if you like mushrooms.

6 oz. sliced portobella sandwiches
1 tsp. your favorite seasoned salt
1 1/2 TB olive oil, divided
1 small onion, thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese
4 thick slices of bread (Texas toast), toasted

Gently rinse and clean the mushrooms, pat dry. Place in a bowl and carefully toss with seasoned salt and 1 TB olive oil. In a large fry pan, saute' onions in 1/2 TB olive oil over medium high heat until brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Carefully place the mushrooms in the pan flat side down (start the toast now). Fry for 2 minutes then gently turn each piece. Fry for another 30 seconds, then separate the mushrooms into 4 piles about the size of the toast. Divide the onions between the mushrooms. Top each pile with a slice of cheese and allow to melt. Slide a spatula under the mushrooms trying to keep the shape, and place on the toast.
