Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter (plus extra for bread)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot (finely chopped)
- 2 cups mushrooms (Portobello, Cremini, or Shiitake, sliced)
- 1 tsp thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère for a richer taste)
- 8 slices bread (Rye, Sourdough, or Artisan)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until moisture evaporates.
- Cook Mushrooms with Aromatics: Add butter, olive oil, and shallots. Cook for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are golden.
- Season Mushroom Mixture: Stir in thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer Ingredients: On the unbuttered side, layer Swiss cheese, the mushroom mixture, and another slice of cheese.
- Top the Sandwich: Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
- Cook the Melt: In a skillet or panini press, cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Notes
- Use Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss for a richer taste.
- Balsamic vinegar is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
- Choose any artisan bread like Rye or Sourdough for best results.
