Turn on the stove to high heat.

Place bell peppers on the stove to char them for a couple of minutes until the skin is burning off.

Once charred, remove the peppers and place them in a bowl, wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap to trap steam.

Let the peppers sit for about 5 minutes to steam.

After 5 minutes, peel the skin off the peppers and clean them out.

Cut the peeled peppers into desired sizes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted peppers with chiffonade basil, a little balsamic vinegar, and cold-pressed olive oil.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and optionally add raw garlic and onion.

Prepare regular burger buns, which can be whole wheat, white, or any preferred type.

Crumble goat cheese on the buns, which pairs well with the peppers.

Take the grilled portobello mushroom and place the dressed peppers on top.

Cover with the top half of the bun.

Heat a sauté pan and add a little oil to it.

Place the assembled sandwich in the sauté pan and press down with another pan to create a panini effect.

Cook until the sandwich is golden brown and heated through, then cut into quarters and serve with a toothpick.
