Description
A cozy, savory breakfast sandwich with golden sautéed mushrooms, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melty Swiss cheese pressed between buttery sourdough for a crispy, gooey morning treat.
Ingredients
- Sourdough Bread: 4 slices
- Mushrooms: 1 cup, sliced
- Swiss Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- Eggs: 2 large
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
- Olive Oil: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 1/8 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper until combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. When hot, add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and sauté over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and any moisture has evaporated. Season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, then remove mushrooms and set aside.
- Assemble the Dish: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and pour in the whisked eggs. Gently scramble until just set. Butter one side of each of the 4 bread slices. On the unbuttered sides, layer approximately 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, half the scrambled eggs, the sautéed mushrooms, and another 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
- Cook to Perfection: Place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium heat, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. If needed, cover the skillet briefly to help the cheese melt.
- Finishing Touches: Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let rest 1 minute so fillings settle and cheese sets slightly for cleaner slices.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice each sandwich in half on the diagonal, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread like sourdough to prevent sogginess and for better crisping.
- Cook mushrooms slowly to concentrate their flavor and avoid excess moisture.
- Shred Swiss cheese for fast, even melting.
- Cover the pan briefly while cooking to speed cheese melting without overbrowning the bread.
