Ingredients

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or butter)
1 cup white mushrooms or Crimini (more or less to your liking)
⅛ tsp Kosher salt (or sea salt to taste)
2 slices bread (preferably crusty, Italian) or 1 slice for open faced

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Grilled Cheese and Mushroom

Put the olive oil (or butter) in a small sauté pan over medium high heat then add the sliced mushrooms.
Sauté and turn so they cook evenly. When they are golden brown, salt to taste and remove from heat.
Butter one side of the bread and place butter side down, on a nonstick pan or griddle.
Add the sauteed mushrooms on top, spreading evenly.
Place the cheese on top, then place the other slice of buttered bread on top (butter facing the top.)
Cook over medium heat until the base is golden brown, turn, and continue until the other side is also golden, and serve immediately.

Open Faced Sandwich

Place the cheese on the bread and melt under the broiler, or in an airfryer.
Top with the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Heat again to warm the mushrooms and serve.

Notes

You can also follow the directions for the grilled cheese sandwich and enjoy it with only one slice of bread as open faced, too..
