Discover the unbeatable flavor of a Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich, combining melty cheese, earthy mushrooms, and crispy bread for a comforting and delicious meal that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Mushrooms

  • Fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced (about 1 cup)

Cheese

  • Sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or gruyere cheese (4-6 oz, sliced or shredded)

Bread

  • Thick-sliced sourdough or artisan white bread (2 slices)

Fat for Cooking

  • Butter or olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Seasonings & Herbs

  • Fresh garlic, minced (1 clove)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (1 teaspoon, chopped)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and finely slice the mushrooms. In a pan, sauté them with butter or olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper over medium heat until browned and all moisture has evaporated, concentrating the flavor.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer a generous amount of your chosen cheese, then add the cooked mushrooms, and top with more cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top to help everything melt beautifully.
  3. Cook the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil, then cook the sandwich slowly on each side until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese inside is melted perfectly.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove the sandwich from the pan, let it rest for a minute, then slice and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, savory goodness at its peak.

Notes

  • Pat dry mushrooms thoroughly before cooking to avoid soggy bread.
  • Cook the sandwich on medium-low heat to ensure a perfectly melted center without burning the bread.
  • Use butter for richness and to achieve a golden crust.
  • Gently press the sandwich with a spatula during cooking for even melting and better texture.
  • Experiment with mixing different cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for optimal melt and flavor.
