Description
This mushroom Swiss breakfast grilled cheese is a savory, melty morning sandwich packed with sautéed mushrooms, fluffy eggs, and rich Swiss cheese.
Ingredients
2 slices sourdough bread (or bread of choice)
1 tablespoon butter (softened, for spreading)
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
1 large egg
2 slices Swiss cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden and tender, about 4–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the egg to your liking (fried, scrambled, or over easy). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice, butter side down, in the skillet. Layer with Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and the cooked egg. Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
Cook until the bread is golden brown and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side, and the cheese is melted.
Slice and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
Swap Swiss cheese for Gruyère, cheddar, or provolone for a flavor twist.
Add spinach, caramelized onions, or bacon for an even heartier sandwich.
For a lighter version, use whole-grain bread and a fried egg white.
