Garlic Mushroom Grilled Cheese

A savory twist on the classic grilled cheese, this Garlic Mushroom Grilled Cheese combines rich, sautéed mushrooms with melty cheese and a flavorful garlic butter spread for the perfect comfort meal!

Ingredients:

For the Garlic Butter:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Sandwich:

• 4 slices bread (your favorite kind)
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
• 1 cup cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella, shredded or sliced)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)

Instructions:

Prepare the Garlic Butter:

In a small bowl, combine butter, minced garlic, parsley (if using), onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Mix until smooth and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich:

Spread the garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread.

On the non-buttered side of two slices, layer a generous amount of cheese and top with the sautéed mushrooms.

Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, buttered side out.

Grill the Sandwich:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter.

Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly to ensure it’s golden brown and crispy on both sides. Make sure the cheese is melted inside.

Serve:

Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot.
