Outstanding

Our Test Kitchens staff suggests that you microwave the goat cheese at MEDIUM for 1 minute to soften for easy spreading.

Yield: 3 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)

Ingredients

  • 1/2  teaspoon  olive oil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  cup  thinly sliced onion, separated into rings
  • 1  cup  thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1  (6-ounce) package portobello mushroom caps, thinly sliced
  • 2  teaspoons  red wine vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  capers
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 3  ounces  goat cheese
  • 3  (2-ounce) slices sourdough bread, toasted
  • 9  (1/8-inch-thick) slices tomato

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté 4 minutes. Add mushroom caps, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Remove pan from heat. Stir in the vinegar, capers, salt, and black pepper.

Spread about 2 tablespoons cheese over each bread slice, and top each with 3 tomato slices and 2/3 cup mushroom mixture.
