🧀 Swiss Mushroom Melt Delight Recipe

🍽️ Servings: 2 sandwiches

⏱️ Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Total Time: 25 min

🧄 Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 1 ½ cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for depth)

• 4 slices hearty bread (sourdough or rye works well)

• 4 slices Swiss cheese

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise or garlic aioli (optional)

• Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

🔥 Directions:

1. Sauté the Mushrooms & Onions:
   In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
   Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and most moisture evaporates (about 7–8 minutes).
   Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce if using.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   Lightly toast your bread if you like extra crisp. Spread a thin layer of mayo or aioli on one side of each slice (optional).
   On one slice of bread, layer Swiss cheese, then the mushroom mixture, then another slice of cheese. Top with the second piece of bread.

3. Grill the Sandwiches:
   Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   Grill the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly, until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown.

4. Serve:
   Slice in half and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with a pickle or side salad.

🧑‍🍳 Tips:

• Add sautéed spinach or caramelized onions for variation.

• Swap bread for a brioche bun for a burger-style melt.

• Use plant-based cheese and butter for a vegan version.
