This is a grown-up grilled cheese if I've ever seen one! Think about this, sweet caramelized onions, perfectly roasted cremini mushrooms with a hint of soy, ooey, gooey swiss cheese, on toasted whole wheat bread with Dijon mustard! Who needs meat!? Quick, easy and downright decadent! Make sure to use a really good Swiss, not the pre-packaged kind.
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbs of olive oil for onions
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • a few grinds of fresh black pepper
  • 1 tsp of olive oil or butter for mushrooms
  • 6 oz of cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tsp of soy sauce
  • 3 scallions, white and pale green part, chopped
  • 4 pieces of whole wheat bread
  • dijon mustard
  • 6 slices of swiss cheese or as much as you like!
  • butter for bread
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add the onions, and the salt & pepper. Stir and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, you will probably have to reduce the heat to low for the last 5 minutes.
  2. In another skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tsp of oil or butter, add the mushrooms and soy and cook for 5 minutes, stir in the scallions and the cooked onions.
  3. Heat a Panini press or a heavy skillet. Spread each slice of bread with dijon mustard, then add the mushroom-onion mixture and then 2 - 3 slices of swiss on top.
  4. Lightly butter the bread and place sandwiches onto hot panini press or in the skillet, cook for approximately 4 - 5 minutes total until bread is toasted and cheese has melted. If using a skillet, place something heavy on top of the sandwiches, like a brick covered in foil, or another smaller heavy skillet, which is what I do when I can't find my brick! Enjoy!
