ROASTED MUSHROOM AND GRUYèRE SANDWICH



Roasted Mushroom and Gruyère Sandwich image

For this sandwich, you can also pan-fry the mushrooms, which give this sandwich a somewhat meaty quality. But in this case I used the toaster oven to roast the mushrooms. You'll need only half of the roasted mushrooms for 1 sandwich but you'll find a good use for the rest of them, I'm sure.

Categories     dinner, lunch

Time 30m

Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound mushrooms (white or cremini), sliced
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 slices whole-grain bread (3 ounces)
1 garlic clove, cut in half (optional)
2 teaspoons minced chives
Handful of arugula
3/4 ounce grated Gruyère cheese (3 tablespoons)

Steps:

Place in oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until mushrooms are bubbling and moist. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
  • If desired, rub one side of each slice of bread with the cut clove of garlic.

Sprinkle chives over the mushrooms and top with a handful of arugula and remaining cheese. Top with remaining slice of bread (garlic-rubbed side down) and press down firmly. Drizzle remaining olive oil over top slice.

OPEN-FACE MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH PECORINO SALSA VERDE



Open-Face Mushroom Sandwiches With Pecorino Salsa Verde image

There's something really satisfying that comes with making a meal over a live fire, no matter what's on the grate. Grilling king trumpet mushrooms turns them deeply savory and tender with a meaty bite. But if you can't find them, crimini mushrooms will also work just fine. The only condiment the grilled mushrooms need is Pecorino salsa verde, a tasty remix of a sauce I learned during my time as sous-chef at San Francisco mainstay Zuni Café. Pecorino Romano has an assertive flavor on its own, but tempered by herbs and olive oil it's the perfect accompaniment to grilled vegetables. This sandwich works great as a salad too: Just tear the grilled bread into smaller chunks, slice the grilled mushrooms in half, and toss in a bowl before serving.

Categories     Mushroom     Shallot     Vinegar     Pepper     Herb     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Pecorino salsa verde
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced crosswise, rings separated
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
3 oz. Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano, or Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 cups (loosely packed) mixed tender herb leaves or greens (such as parsley and dill or dill and arugula)
5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Mushrooms and assembly
1 lb. king trumpet or crimini mushrooms, trimmed
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
6 1"-thick slices country-style bread

Steps:

  • Special equipment
  • Six-eight 10" metal skewers or bamboo skewers, soaked (optional)
  • Pecorino salsa verde
  • Toss shallots, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a small bowl to combine; lightly season with salt (the Pecorino will add some saltiness, so bear that in mind). Let sit 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, very thinly slice Pecorino into tiles with a knife (irregular pieces are okay).
  • Add Pecorino, herbs, and oil to pickled shallots and toss gently to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed; set aside.
  • Mushrooms and assembly
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; clean grate. Working one at a time, set mushrooms on their sides and slice lengthwise ¼" thick to make 3-4 planks per mushroom, depending their size. If your mushrooms are particularly small or you are using crimini, slice ½" thick and thread onto skewers to keep them from falling through grate.
  • Using some of the oil, brush cut sides of mushrooms and transfer to a large bowl or arrange on a rimmed baking sheet if skewered. Lightly brush both sides of each slice of bread with remaining oil and transfer to a platter.
  • Press each slice of bread down across grate for even contact and grill until browned with some lightly charred spots, about 2 minutes per side. The goal is a crunchy exterior with a still chewy center. Transfer bread back to platter.
  • Brush grate to clean. If using a gas grill, turn heat down to medium. A charcoal grill should be at the tail end of medium-high and headed toward medium at this point, but wait a few minutes if needed. Grill mushrooms, turning halfway through and moving around as needed to avoid flare-ups, until golden all over with lightly charred edges, 6-8 minutes for small pieces and 8-10 minutes for large ones. Return to bowl (slide off of skewers if needed). Add Pecorino salsa verde and toss to combine. Spoon mushroom mixture over grilled bread.

Categories     Bread     Sandwich     Wine     Garlic     Mushroom     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Shallot     Parsley     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

About 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound mixed wild and domestic mushrooms, such as shiitakes (stems removed), creminis, portobellos, oyster mushrooms, and chanterelles, cleaned and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 slices of country-style bread, about 3 inches long and ⅓ inch thick
4 whole heads of roasted garlic, cloves squeezed to remove the softened garlic

Steps:

  • For The Mushrooms
  • In a large sauté pan, heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat until the butter is very hot. Add the meatiest of your mushrooms, such as the creminis and portobellos, and cook them on both sides until they brown lightly and begin to lose their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring the mushrooms every few minutes, for about another 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped fresh garlic, the shallot, and the thyme, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and continue cooking the mushrooms until they are tender and most of the wine and mushroom juices have evaporated, about another 10 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. Add the parsley and keep the mushrooms warm until ready to serve.
  • To Assemble the Sandwiches
  • Toast the bread on both sides either under the broiler or on a grill until golden brown. Spread each piece generously with some roasted garlic. Top 6 of the slices of bread with the mushrooms. Cover with the remaining slices of bread, garlic side down.

CREAMY, MELTY MUSHROOM SANDWICHES



Creamy, Melty Mushroom Sandwiches image

Earthy, meaty mushrooms are one of the hallmarks of spring cooking. This creamy mushroom sandwich will make your taste buds come alive. Its cheesy sauce and hearty bread make for an irresistible bite.

Provided by JJ Johnson

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups mixed mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini or any other favorites)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium shallot, chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced fennel bulb
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 cups shredded fontina cheese
4 slices hearty bread
Fresh chopped basil or parsley for garnish

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more flavorful sandwich. Try using a combination of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help it hold up to the juicy mushrooms.
  • Spread a generous amount of butter or mayonnaise on the bread. This will help keep the sandwich moist and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Layer the mushrooms, cheese, and any other desired toppings on the bread. Be sure to add plenty of cheese so that it melts and gets gooey.
  • Cook the sandwich in a panini press or on a grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as a side salad, soup, or chips.

Conclusion:

The toasty mushroom sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms.
