Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 units medium cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 unit medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of bread using 1 tablespoon of butter, then place half of the cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Distribute the sautéed mushrooms and bell pepper evenly over the cheese. Add a few fresh basil leaves on top for added flavor.
Top with the remaining cheese and cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
