Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Season the vegetables with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms and peppers over the unbuttered side of the bread slices.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the vegetables, dividing it evenly between the two slices.
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side up, to form sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
