6 Reviews of Bada Bing Betty's Tuscan Portobello Melt (Grilled Cheese Sandwic

From: bobo3039

Don't you hate it when people change the recipe and then rate it? I took a few short cuts and the result was just so good that I think the original has to be even better, so I feel it's probably a safe bet to give the recipe 5 stars. I sauteed the onions in butter, than added tomatoes and briefly sauteed them in the balsamic and wine. I sauteed the mushrooms separately in butter. Then I followed the directions for steps 6-9. The sandwich was just so incredibly good! All that cheese and the vegetables were a perfect combination. Thanks for posting the recipe.

    These sandwiches were awsome. Portobellos were on sale so I stocked up and searched for something to make with them later. The wine and balsamic really give that extra demention that. I cut my tomatoes in half so they wouldn't burst in your mouth. My husband commented that the cherry tomatoes were a good idea because they don't turn to mush like regular ones would. We used some of the leftover veggies and cheese in omlets the next day. Thanks so much for a great recipe.

    This made a great lunch today! I scaled back the recipe to make 2 sandwiches. I used roma tomatoes, cut up and monterey jack/colby mix along with baby swiss. Yum! Loved it! Thanks so much.

    I didn't have the recommended cheeses or sourdough bread, but Mr. Wonderful picked up a block of truffle cheese and I had garlic wrap bread handy. Oh. My. Goodness! I cut down the grilling/frying time to not burn the wrap, but it still turned out DELICOUS! Thank you so much for this recipe. I'll definitely make it again and again.

    I made these for my husband and I for lunch today... they were very yummy! Easy to put together, taste great, very satisfying! I would recommend cutting the tomatoes in 1/4th.. so they don't explode in your mouth when you're biting into them... they could be quite hot.

    I am always looking for something that my vegetarian and men will all enjoy and this fits the bill to a "t" I lightened this recipe for the Make It Healthier game. The soup and sandwich were very good, so I am convinced that the full fat version would be a 10 star rating Thank you for posting a wonderful recipe.
