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.
MUSHROOM GRUYERE GRILLED CHEESE
Steps:
- For the truffle spread: Thoroughly combine the robiola, lemon zest, rosemary, truffle oil and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Reserve at room temperature.
- For the mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add just enough of the mushrooms to loosely cover the bottom of the skillet (you should be able to see the pan between the mushrooms). Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, then gently turn the mushrooms over as they brown and soften.
- Add a little chopped shallot and garlic, some butter and some rosemary and thyme to the pan. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes more; transfer to a paper towel.
- Wipe out the skillet and repeat the process, cooking the mushrooms in small batches. Reserve at room temperature.
- For the grilled cheese: Preheat a griddle over moderately low heat to 350 degrees F.
- Brush one side of each bread slice with softened butter. Spread the opposite side with truffle spread (1/4 cup per slice). Top each with a slice of fontina and a slice of Gruyere Spoon 1/2 cup of the mushrooms onto each slice. Sprinkle with the herbs and season with salt. Close the sandwiches.
- Set the sandwiches on the hot griddle and press with a large baking sheet weighted down with cans. Cook until toasted, 3 minutes per side.
- Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve hot.
MUSHROOM-GRUYERE TART
The whole-wheat and olive oil crust for this savory tart is based on a recipe for crackers. The real surprise here is the addition of tahini in the crust; it makes the whole tart taste more complex. This recipe appears in our cookbook, "A New Way to Bake" (Clarkson Potter).

Yield Makes one 9 1/2-inch tart
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours and salt. Stir in tahini, oil, and 3 tablespoons water. Knead in bowl until a ball forms; add up to 1 tablespoon more water, if needed. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 12-inch round and fit it into a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim flush with rim. Prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Filling: Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add shallot, garlic, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until shallot is softened, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and salt. Cook until mushrooms are tender and golden brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine cheese, eggs, parsley, and mushroom mixture. Pour filling into crust. Bake tart, rotating pan halfway through, until just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let tart cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Top with parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature with more red-pepper flakes. (Tart can be refrigerated, covered, overnight; bring to room temperature or reheat before serving.)
Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your sandwich a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Roast the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will bring out their natural flavors.
- Use a good quality Gruyère cheese. This cheese has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the mushrooms.
- Spread the tapenade on the bread before adding the mushrooms and cheese. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
- Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will make the sandwich hot and gooey.
Conclusion:
This roasted mushroom and Gruyère sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it's also a great option for vegetarians. The combination of roasted mushrooms, Gruyère cheese, and tapenade is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying sandwich, give this recipe a try.
