Sandwich Ingredients- 1 Ciabatta bread
- 1/2 Fresh king oyster mushroom (or your preferred mushroom)
- 1 Slice Cheddar cheese
- A generous handful of crisp lettuce
- 1 Slice of crispy cooked bacon
- A few cherry tomatoes, halved
Seasoning & Sauce- 6 Tbsp Olive oil
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or honey)
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 6 Tbsp Olive oil
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or honey)
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally, but don’t cut all the way through. Leave the edges connected to create a pocket for the fillings, ensuring they don’t spill out.
Step 2
Slice the king oyster mushrooms (or your chosen mushrooms) into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the mushroom slices with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. Ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated for maximum flavor infusion during cooking.
Step 3
Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket and cook at 160°C (320°F) for 5 minutes. This step helps to tenderize the mushrooms and develop a slightly caramelized flavor.
Step 4
While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare a simple yet flavorful sauce. If you don’t have basil pesto or whole grain mustard on hand, a great alternative can be made by combining 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of oligosaccharide (or honey) in a small bowl. Whisk well until combined – the garlic provides a gentle bite, while the oligosaccharide adds a touch of sweetness.
Step 5
Once the mushrooms are done, remove them from the air fryer. It’s time to assemble your sandwich! Spread a generous layer of the prepared sauce onto one of the ciabatta halves. Lay the crispy cooked bacon on top of the sauce. On the other half of the ciabatta, place the slice of cheddar cheese, followed by the cooked mushrooms and the halved cherry tomatoes. Close the sandwich. Place the assembled sandwich back into the air fryer and cook again at 160°C (320°F) for another 5 minutes. This will melt the cheese and warm everything through beautifully.
Step 6
After the second air frying, open the sandwich and add a generous handful of fresh lettuce leaves. Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. This will help hold everything together neatly when you cut and eat it. Finally, use a sharp knife to cut the wrapped sandwich in half. Your delicious and impressive Olive Ciabatta Mushroom Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed!
