Garlic Mushroom Melt
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic crushed and finely minced
- ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated
- ⅓ cup grated Fontina cheese
- 3½ cups Crimini/Italian Brown mushrooms washed and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup white wine
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- Butter or butter spread
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until the butter is absorbed, about 7 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and stir.
- Cook, stirring every few minutes, until the wine evaporates and the bottom of the pan is dry and the mushrooms start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Mix together the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and Fontina cheeses.
- Spread ¼ of this cheese mixture on the non-buttered side of two slices of bread.
- Spoon the cooked mushrooms on top of the cheese.
- Scatter the remaining cheese mixture on top of the mushrooms and cover each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Cook the sandwiches at 325°F for four minutes on each side, using a melting dome if available.
