Description

The Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a delightful culinary creation that marries simplicity with flavor, making it an ideal choice for a quick yet satisfying family dinner. One of the most appealing aspects of this sandwich is its ease of preparation.


Ingredients

    • Whole grain or whole wheat bread - 8 slices

    • Mushrooms (such as cremini or button) - 1 pound, sliced

    • Baby spinach - 2 cups

    • Sharp cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) - 8 slices or about 2 cups shredded

    • Olive oil or avocado oil - 2 tablespoons

    • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

    • Onion - 1 small, thinly sliced

    • Salt and pepper - to taste

    • Butter or plant-based spread - for spreading on the bread (about 4 tablespoons)


Instructions

    1. Prepare the Ingredients:
        • Slice the mushrooms and onions thinly.

        • Mince the garlic.

        • Rinse and drain the spinach.

        • Grate the cheese if not using pre-sliced cheese.

    1. Cook the Mushroom Mixture:
        • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

        • Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.

        • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

        • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released moisture.

        • Add the baby spinach to the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until wilted.

        • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and set the mixture aside.

    1. Assemble the Sandwiches:
        • Preheat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat.

        • Butter one side of each slice of bread.

        • Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.

        • Add one layer of cheese (one slice or about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese) on the bread.

        • Spoon a portion of the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the cheese.

        • Add another layer of cheese on top of the mushroom mixture.

        • Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing up.

    1. Grill the Sandwiches:
        • Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down slightly with a spatula for an even crust.

        • Carefully flip the sandwich after the first side is done, ensuring the fillings don't spill out.

    1. Serve:
        • Remove the sandwich from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board.

        • Let it cool slightly, then slice diagonally if desired.

        • Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.

    1. Enjoy:
        • Serve immediately while warm and gooey. Optionally, serve with a side of salad or soup for a more complete meal.
