Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh mushrooms (button or cremini) – 8 oz, sliced
  • Garlic cloves – 2, minced
  • Butter – 2 tbsp, divided
  • Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or gruyere) – 4 oz, sliced or shredded
  • Bread (rustic sourdough or whole wheat) – 4 slices
  • Salt – to taste
  • Ground black pepper – to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh parsley or thyme – 1 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Garlic Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and moisture evaporates, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs, then remove from heat.
  2. Prepare the Bread and Cheese: Lay out bread slices on a clean surface. On one side of half the slices, layer cheese evenly. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms over the cheese, then add an additional layer of cheese if desired. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Grill to Perfection: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook slowly for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
  4. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove sandwiches from the skillet once toasted and gooey. Let cool slightly before slicing to keep fillings intact. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cook on medium-low heat to achieve perfectly toasted bread without burning.
  • Use room temperature cheese for faster and even melting.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet; sauté mushrooms in batches if needed to prevent steaming.
  • Press the sandwich lightly during grilling to meld layers together.
  • Generously butter the bread for optimal crunch and flavor.
