Grilled Portobello and Veggie Sandwiches with Goat Cheese and Pesto Mayo

September 16, 2015 by jessfuel 12 Comments

Creamy goat cheese and pesto mayo pack a ton of flavor into these hearty sandwiches, stacked tall with grilled portobello mushrooms and a bounty of summer veggies.

Grilled Portobello and Veggie Sandwiches with Goat Cheese and Pesto Mayo

There are three things I absolutely love about these sandwiches. They are packed full of veggies, something we could all use a little more of. They are so simple and easy to make. And they’re really impressive and delicious with a ton of great flavors going on, perfect to make for friends! I made these twice this summer, and will probably keep making them until it’s too cold out to use the grill. Which, here means about February.

Grilled veggies are one of the best things ever. Grilling them brings out so much flavor. If you can get your hands on some end-of-season local veggies, those would be amazing. But if not, grocery store varieties will do just fine.

Grilled Portobello and Veggie Sandwiches with Goat Cheese and Pesto Mayo

With my never ending basil supply, I of course am always making my own pesto. But you can definitely let someone else do the work for you here and use the jarred stuff. The veggies are seasoned really simply because the strong basil and tangy goat cheese bring so much flavor to this sandwich. A definite winner!

    Portobello mushroom sandwiches are my favorite! I always order them out whenever I see them on menus. I’ve never made my own before, so that has got to change. I love the goat cheese and pesto mayo on here!

    My vegetarian sister will looooove this! I’m always looking for great veggie packed things to cook her. Heck, I’ll love this too! Portabella mushrooms are such a great meat substitute : )

    I’ve heard that grilled portobello mushrooms are really good, but I haven’t tried them before. I think that needs to change though because this sandwich looks incredible!
