Description
This Garlic Mushroom Grilled Cheese is a savory and satisfying sandwich, filled with golden sautéed mushrooms, melted cheese, and crisp buttery bread – perfect for a quick and hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices bread
- 4 slices cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
- Additional butter, for grilling
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet or griddle. Top each slice with a slice of cheese, then divide the cooked mushrooms evenly between the two slices.
- Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the mushrooms, buttered side facing up.
- Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use any melty cheese like mozzarella, provolone, or fontina for a twist.
- Add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
- Use whole grain or sourdough bread for a richer texture.
