MUSHROOM GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once the butter is starting to sizzle, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook for a few minutes undisturbed. Check the bottom of the mushrooms, and, when they're golden brown and caramelized on the edges, flip. Continue to cook until the other side is caramelized, as well. Add the onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine and allow the liquid to cook off for another minute. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
• Butter one side of each of the four slices of bread. Assemble the sandwiches with one piece of bread (buttered side out) followed by a slice of cheese, half the mushrooms, another slice of cheese, then a second slice of bread, buttered side out.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and grill for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crisp on one side. Carefully flip the sandwiches, cover the pan with a lid or cookie sheet, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until the opposite side is golden and cheese is extra melty. Serve immediately.

MELTY GRILLED MUSHROOM SWISS BURGER

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with vegetable oil. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and dijon. Set aside.
• In another small bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, thyme, and garlic. Thread the mushrooms onto three 10-inch skewers (if wood, soak for 10 minutes in water before using). Brush mushrooms all over with oil mixture and season with salt and pepper.
• Shape beef into 4 equally-sized patties, about 4-inches wide. Season both sides with salt and the pepper. Using your thumb, press a shallow indent into the center of each burger. Brush cut sides of buns with remaining olive oil. Set both aside.
• Place buns on grill cut side down and grill until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Grill mushrooms until golden and tender, turning a few times, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate and let sit until skewers are cool enough to handle. Remove mushrooms and thinly slice.
• Meanwhile, grill patties until crust develops on bottom side, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 4 minutes more. Top each burger with two slices of cheese, cover the grill, and cook until cheese is melted and meat is no longer pink in center, about 2 minutes more. Remove burgers to a plate.
• To assemble, spread bottom buns with mayonnaise mixture. Top with arugula and a patty. Pile mushrooms on top of patty and sandwich with top bun. Serve immediately.

CREAMY, MELTY MUSHROOM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms have given up all their liquid and are beginning to brown. Add the onions, shallots and fennel. Cook, stirring, until all the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes more.
• Add the wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan to dislodge any browned bits. Let simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Stir in the cream. Slowly stir in the cheese, stirring until melted. Cook until bubbling and smooth, about 5 minutes. If too thick, add a little more cream or some milk.
• While the sauce is cooking, toast the bread. Place 2 slices of toast on each of 2 plates and spoon the mushroom mixture over top. Garnish with the fresh herbs.
