Mushroom Gruyere Grilled Cheese
This mushroom gruyere grilled cheese sandwich is the perfect combination of the ease of a grilled cheese sandwich and fancy(ish) ingredients that are a surefire way to wow anyone you might prepare this meal for! Be prepared for people to be seriously impressed!
I learned a long time ago that while I don’t actually love a traditional grilled cheese – white sandwich bread with pre-packaged cheese slices – I adore a fancy-pants grilled cheese. Put some caramelized onion in there, artichoke hearts (recipe coming soon), or this version with sauteed mushrooms are my heart just sings.
These sandwiches are a perfect weeknight dinner. The mushrooms only take about 10-15 minutes to cook down and brown up deliciously, and after that it’s literally as simple as a regular grilled cheese.
And these can be made with regular store-bought sandwich bread, but I highly recommend buying a good loaf of Italian or French bread from your grocery store’s bakery section. The mushrooms need a sturdy bread base. I’ve made these with regular bread, and it just doesn’t hold together quite as well. You can also use sourdough, but I appear to be the only person in the world who doesn’t like sourdough bread, so it rarely makes an appearance in my kitchen.
Another benefit of this sandwich – the veggies are IN the sandwich, so there’s no need to make a side dish! If you want to though, this pairs really well with simple green salad.
