Ingredients

Mayonnaise Spread

  • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Sandwich

  • 1 package (6 oz) portabella mushroom caps
  • 1 small red bell pepper, quartered lengthwise
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, quartered lengthwise
  • 2 slices (1/2 inch) red onion
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 focaccia bread (10 inch)
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 4 oz Havarti cheese, sliced

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise spread ingredients. Refrigerate. With small metal spoon, scrape underside of mushroom caps to remove dark gills.
  • 2
    Spray mushrooms, bell peppers and onion slices with cooking spray. Place on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until bell peppers and onion are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from grill; let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, cut focaccia in half horizontally to form 2 rounds. Spread mayonnaise spread evenly on cut side of bottom half.
  • 4
    Slice mushrooms; arrange over mayonnaise spread. Cut bell peppers into thin strips; layer over mushrooms. Separate onion slices into rings; place over peppers. Top with tomato and cheese slices. Cover with top half of focaccia.
  • 5
    If desired, wrap sandwich in foil; place on grill. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. To serve, cut into 6 wedges.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Havarti melts nicely and adds wonderful creaminess to this grilled sandwich. For a different flavor, try a variety such as dill Havarti.
  • tip 2
    Use colorful toothpicks to hold these sandwiches together. Look for themed party picks at paper supply stores or in the party section of your grocery store.
