PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS AND JULIAN BAKERY BREAD

I can’t get enough of either – Julian Bakery Bread or Portabella Mushrooms, so why not combine them?

A great way to enjoy both is to marry them in a grilled sandwich. I would use Wonderful Bread or Smart Carb #1 Bread.

Julian Bakery’s Wonderful Bread is high in fiber and protein with 6 seeds and 6 whole grains. It is a light in color, whole grain, fresh ground organic bread that even has fresh ground pinto beans in it for high complete protein and is covered in yummy seeds.

It is made with the wholesome ingredients of fresh ground whole grains of golden wheat, oats, rye, corn, brown rice, millet, seeds of sunflower, flax, sesame, poppy, pumpkin, and pinto beans, honey, yeast and sea salt.

Julian Bakery’s Smart Carb #1 Bread is sprouted, high in protein, unsweetened and extremely flavorful.

It is made with whole grains, bean, seeds of Kamut®, spelt, wheat, rye, millet, lentils, eggs, soy protein, flax, sesame, quinoa, amaranth, wheat gluten, 7 grain flakes, oat bran, sea salt and yeast.

Here is all you need to do for wonderful grilled portabella mushroom and Julian Bakery bread sandwiches:

Julian Bakery’s Wonderful Bread or Smart Carb #1 Bread
2 golf ball sized balls of mozzarella cheese
4 t olive oil
Fresh basil leaves
1 T chopped fresh chives
2 t. balsamic vinegar
2 portabella mushrooms, sliced into horizontal halves
1 large, red bell pepper, quartered
Alfalfa sprouts

Combine cheese, oil, basil, chives and vinegar in a blender. Blend until smooth; set aside.

Grill mushrooms about 3 minutes per side or until tender. Grill peppers until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Skin will be wrinkled and lightly brown.

Slightly toast the bread and spread the mozzarella mixture evenly on each piece of toast. Cover with mushroom slice, red pepper and top with sprouts. Serve immediately.

Enjoy, Samantha
