Ingredients
- 250 grams button or cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams blue cheese
- 4 slices sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup arugula or spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter (for bread toasting)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel and slice them thinly.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the fresh thyme leaves. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Drizzle the mushrooms with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, then season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 6
Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice. Place two slices buttered-side down onto a clean surface.
Step 7
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each slice on the bottom layer.
Step 8
Top the mayonnaise with a layer of sautéed mushrooms, 25 grams of blue cheese per sandwich, and a handful of arugula or spinach leaves.
Step 9
Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered-side facing out.
Step 10
Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and toast them for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 11
Remove the sandwiches from the pan, slice in half, and serve warm.
