Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms turn golden brown and all liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
- Prepare Bread: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread evenly. This will help create a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place a slice of bread, butter-side down, on a clean skillet heated over medium heat. Layer a slice of Gouda cheese, then a generous portion of the mushroom and onion mixture, followed by another slice of Gouda cheese on top. Finally, cover with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Grill Sandwich: Cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, then carefully flip it to grill the other side. Continue cooking until the second side is browned and the cheese is fully melted.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the assembly and grilling process for the remaining sandwiches. Serve warm and enjoy your mushroom onion Gouda grilled cheese sandwiches.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh mushrooms and allow onions to caramelize slowly for maximum flavor.
- You can substitute Gouda with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
- Use low heat while grilling to ensure the cheese melts before the bread burns.
- This sandwich pairs well with a side of tomato soup or a light salad.
