Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Panini Maker, Grill Pan, or Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ sweet yellow onion sliced
  • 3 portobello mushrooms sliced into small chunks
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of Tuscan or Sourdough bread
  • Chaumes cheese sliced

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them for 10 minutes before adding the mushrooms.
  • Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are caramelized and tender.
  • Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir constantly for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the stove and set it aside.
  • Preheat the panini grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet.
  • Layer one piece of bread with the slices of Chaumes, top the cheese with the onions and mushrooms mixture then place the other piece of bread on top.  Side Note: I cook my sandwiches dry (no butter or oil) because they are healthier and they turn out extra crispy, but feel free to butter your bread if desired.
  • Place the sandwich in the hot panini maker for 5 minutes. Slice in half and serve immediately. Enjoy. Side Note: If you are using a grill pan or skillet, cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown, then flip over and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden brown and melty.
