Amazing Combination: Portobella bruschetta

I always can't take good pictures for bruschetta :( and today I have guests , so just did a quick work)

This one is a little bit complicated, but it comes out amazing, my guests almost raved them all.
I should have got some pics of each layer.

( From top to the bottom)
1st, Rosemary Aioli

Mayo
Minced garlic ( It is the feature of Aioli)
Balsamic, -------
Champagne vinegar/rice vinegar, -----------> acid
lemon juice -----
Dijon mustard
Minced Rosemary

2nd layer------Roast red pepper
Roast red pepper, ( I just used the jar, since it was soaked in water, so I used toaster oven(broil) to let the water go away , so it was almost like freshly from char grill :)
Basil
Green onion
Olive oil
You can imagine how beautiful they are after combined together; unfortunately I don't have pictures of it.

3rd Layer---- Caramelized onion
Onion
Balsamic mix ( balsamic, honey, brown sugar, thyme)
Soy sauce ( I used my magic hero, that trader joe's teriyaki sauce, usually it doesn't use soy sauce when do caramelize onion, but I think it adds more flavors

4th Layer---Portobella
Portobella caps
Balsamic mix ( balsamic, honey, brown sugar, thyme) Oil( which I think is very neccessary, the aroma of mushroom can't be sent out without oil)

5th Bread
Brush olive oil.

Assemble them together , put it in the oven until bread is crispy.

Each part is not very impressve if you taste it seperatly. So I was very nervous I would disappoint my guests, but when they are put together, it is so wonderful, unbelieveable.

But the sad part is sK doesn't enjoy mushroom, but I think I can use meat. This one can be transformed to a sandwich or hamburg. Or even use shrimp as a subtitue for mushroom (they have similar texture, I think) Let me try it , some time, for Special K.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just thought of an idea, I can use eggs instead of mushroom, beat eggs ( mixed some minced basil), make a small no-cheese omelette. And it must be very colorful bruschetta. sK, is it a too bold idea? I think it's fine.
