Lightly brush each red bell pepper with a small amount of vegetable oil and season the portabella mushroom with salt and pepper. Place both peppers and the portabella mushroom in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the portabella mushroom from the oven, and turn the peppers with tongs. Bake the peppers for another 15 minutes, rotate again, and bake for a final 15 minutes or until fully roasted. |

Remove peppers from the bag and peel the skin off each pepper with your fingers and a knife. Slice into thin strips. Also, slice the portabella into thin strips. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Assemble the sandwich by adding your desired amount of portabella strips and then roasted red pepper strips. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Top with the sliced smoked gouda cheese. Use a panini press or skillet, and cook until the outside is toasted and the cheese is melted. Enjoy! |
