Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced sandwich bread
- 1 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 0.5 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Season the vegetables with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Step 5
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms and peppers over the unbuttered side of the bread slices.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the vegetables, dividing it evenly between the two slices.
Step 8
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side up, to form sandwiches.
Step 9
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Step 10
Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 12
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
