Description

Crispy, golden bread stuffed with melty cheese and savory garlic mushrooms – this Garlic Mushroom Grilled Cheese is the comfort food your soul craves. A classic with a delicious twist!

Ingredients

Scale

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole wheat recommended)
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until aromatic. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
Build the sandwiches by layering sautéed mushrooms and cheese between two slices of bread.
Warm a non-stick skillet on medium-low heat. Toast the sandwiches until the bread is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Let cool slightly, sprinkle with herbs if using, slice, and enjoy warm.

Notes

For a flavor boost, try adding crushed red pepper flakes while cooking the mushrooms. Mix and match cheeses – smoked gouda and sharp cheddar are amazing together. Double the filling to serve more or save leftovers for later.
