This sandwich features gooey aged Gouda, perfectly sautéed earthy mushrooms, and sweet caramelized onions between hearty sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 6 oz aged Gouda cheese, grated
  • 1 cup fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by slicing the onions and mushrooms while grating the Gouda cheese.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
  3. Assemble your sandwich by spreading butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place one slice butter-side down, layer with Gouda cheese followed by sautéed onions and mushrooms, then top with another slice of bread (butter-side up).
  4. Heat another skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet for another minute to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly.
  5. Remove from heat, cut in half, and serve hot.
