Ingredients

• 200 grams button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 100 grams grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Slice them thinly and set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley if using for garnish.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with a teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and softened.

Step 5

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

Step 6

Preheat a grill pan or sandwich press. Drizzle each slice of sourdough bread with a small amount of olive oil.

Step 7

Place half of the sautéed mushrooms on two slices of the bread. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the mushrooms and top with the other bread slices to form sandwiches.

Step 8

Grill the sandwiches in the preheated grill pan or sandwich press for 3-4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.

Step 9

Remove the toasties from the heat and cut them in half for serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
