Gourmet Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Sandwich:
4 slices of sourdough bread or your preferred bread
2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese
1 ½ cups (150g) mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your choice)
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
For Garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden and tender.
Add minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet or griddle.
Add a layer of shredded cheese, followed by the sautéed mushrooms, and then another layer of cheese.
Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
3. Cook the Sandwich:
Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second sandwich.
4. Serve:
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot, ideally with a bowl of creamy soup or a side salad.
