Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (thick)

  • 1 cup Swiss cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Slice the sourdough bread and mushrooms evenly.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add mushrooms and garlic powder, cooking until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
  3. Toast the bread: In another skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Toast one side of each slice of sourdough until golden brown.
  4. Assemble your sandwich: On the toasted side, layer sautéed mushrooms and top with shredded Swiss cheese.
  5. Grill until melty: Flip the sandwich so cheese side is down in the skillet. Grill until cheese melts and both sides are golden brown (3-4 minutes per side).
  6. Serve and enjoy: Let cool slightly before cutting in half.

Keywords: To elevate flavors, consider adding caramelized onions or fresh herbs like thyme. Swap Swiss cheese for Gruyère or cheddar for a different taste profile. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.
