Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1 cup shredded young Gouda cheese
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup button or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Olive oil for roasting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Veggies: Clean the mushrooms under cold water and pat dry. Slice mushrooms and onions into thin pieces for even roasting.
- Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread sliced mushrooms and onions on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Lay one slice of bread on a clean surface. Layer with half of the shredded Gouda cheese, followed by spoonfuls of roasted mushrooms and onions. Top with the remaining Gouda cheese and place another slice of bread on top.
- Cook It Up: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter until bubbly. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, adding another tablespoon of butter around the edges before cooking until both sides are golden brown and cheese has melted.
- Slice and Serve: Transfer the grilled cheese to a cutting board and let it rest for one minute before slicing diagonally. Serve hot alongside tomato soup or salad if desired.
