Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 cup fresh button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Cheese & Dairy

  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter (room temperature)

Bread & Oils

  • 2 slices thick-cut sourdough or rustic white bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Toss in the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender, forming a rich, savory filling.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly with room-temperature butter. On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer the cooked garlic mushrooms evenly, then generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend on top. Close the sandwich with the second slice, ensuring the buttered side faces out.
  3. Grill to perfection: Place the sandwich in a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat. Press lightly with a spatula and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crisp, and the cheese has melted thoroughly. Carefully flip the sandwich to avoid spilling the filling.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy: Remove the grilled cheese from the heat once golden brown and cheesy. Slice gently and serve immediately to experience the warm, gooey, and satisfying bite.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature butter for easy spreading and even toasting.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms; sauté in batches if needed to avoid steaming.
  • Grill the sandwich on medium or medium-low heat to melt cheese evenly without burning the bread.
  • Press lightly with a spatula while grilling to keep the sandwich compact but avoid squeezing out the filling.
  • Toast bread separately before assembling for extra crunch.
