In between a toasted whole-grain English muffin you’ll enjoy creamy vegan cashew cheese, crisp red onion, lemony-dressed baby arugula and a pan-charred portobello mushroom cap.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 1
-
1 Whole Wheat English Muffins
-
1 oz Cashew Cheese
-
1 Portabella Mushroom Caps
-
1 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
-
1/8 tsp paprika
-
1/8 tsp chili powder
-
1/8 tsp sea salt
-
1 medium red onion
-
1/2 cup Baby Spinach & Arugula Blend, Fresh
-
1/2 tsp Pure Lemon Juice
DIRECTIONS
1
Split then toast the English muffin halves. Spread the vegan cheese (such as Treeline Tree Nut Scallion French-Style Soft Cheese) onto the cut side of each toasted half. Set aside. (Hint: For non-vegans, soft goat cheese is a delicious alternative to cashew cheese.)
2
Brush both sides of the mushroom cap with 1 teaspoon of the oil using a small silicone brush. Then sprinkle the gill side with the pepper, paprika, chili powder, and salt.
3
Heat a nonstick (PFOA-free) skillet over medium-high. Cook the mushroom cap, gill side up, covered, for 3 minutes. Cook the mushroom cap gill side down, covered, until fully cooked and charred as desired, about 4 minutes more. Place gill side up on the bottom muffin half. Top with the onion.
4
In a small bowl, toss the arugula with the lemon juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. Add to the English muffin, and serve as a sandwich.
