Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp butter (plus extra for spreading on bread)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms (sliced; cremini, button, or your choice)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or your choice)
  • 4 slices of cheese (Gruyère, mozzarella, provolone, or cheddar)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mushrooms:
    • Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley if using. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
    • On the unbuttered side, layer one slice of cheese, a generous portion of the garlic mushrooms, and another slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.
  • Cook the Sandwiches:
    • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
    • Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve:
    • Slice in half and serve warm with your favorite soup, salad, or as is.

Notes

  • Cheese Options: Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavor; Gruyère and mozzarella pair beautifully with mushrooms.
  • Additions: Try adding caramelized onions, spinach, or a pinch of red chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.
