Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Arugula
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms thinly before adding them to the skillet. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.
On two of the bread slices, layer the sautéed mushrooms, Gruyère cheese, and a handful of arugula. Top with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down.
Preheat a stovetop grill pan or panini press over medium heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the sandwiches on the grill pan or in the press. If using a grill pan, press down on each sandwich with a heavy skillet to mimic a panini press. Cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, slice each panini in half, and serve warm.
