Ingredients
Scale
For the Mushroom Mixture:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices rustic bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Mushroom Mixture: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and softened. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice. Place 2 slices of bread, mayo side down, on a clean surface. Layer with half the mozzarella, the mushroom mixture, the remaining mozzarella, and the cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add caramelized onions or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mushroom mixture.
- You can also swap mozzarella for provolone or gouda.
