Equipment
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Toaster
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread whole wheat, white, or your preferred variety
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms such as cremini, button, or portobello
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, add chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened and fragrant.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, preheat your toaster or toaster oven. Place the slices of bread in the toaster and toast until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked and the bread is toasted, it's time to assemble the sandwiches. Divide the sautéed mushrooms evenly among four slices of toasted bread.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mushrooms on each slice of bread. If desired, add chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining four slices of toasted bread to form sandwiches.
- Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Once the sandwiches are heated through and the cheese is melted, remove them from the skillet and serve immediately.
- Enjoy your Mushroom Sandwich Melts hot as a delicious and satisfying meal or snack!
