Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup young gouda cheese, grated
- 1 cup fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium sweet onion (like Vidalia), sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for sautéing and grilling)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by slicing the onions and mushrooms thinly. Grate the gouda cheese if using a block.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the sliced onions. Sauté until translucent, then add the mushrooms and cook until tender and caramelized.
- Assemble your sandwich: Layer one slice of sourdough with half the gouda cheese, top with sautéed onions and mushrooms, then add the remaining gouda before placing another slice of bread on top.
- In a clean skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Grill the sandwich on each side until golden brown and crispy (about 4-5 minutes), ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
