Description

A delightful grilled cheese sandwich featuring earthy sautéed mushrooms and gooey cheese, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or baguette)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (crimini, shiitake, or portobello)
  • 1 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Layer your sandwich with cheese on one slice of bread, followed by the sautéed mushrooms, then top with another slice of bread.
  5. Butter the outside with the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  6. Grill the sandwich in the skillet, pressing down with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove from skillet, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

For a quick meal, sauté mushrooms ahead of time and store in the fridge. Reheat them when ready to grill.
