• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 slices good bread
• 1 cup smoked gouda, shredded

Preheat oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet,  toss sliced mushrooms and onion in olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast the veggies for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browning around the edges.

In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter. Take the four slices and dip them in the melted butter. Be sure that the butter is evenly coating the four sides. Remove the skillet from the heat. Assemble the sandwiches in skillet in this order- bread (butter side down), 1/4 of the cheese, roasted onions and mushrooms, 1/4 of the cheese, bread (butter side up). Lightly press together to help things settle. Grill over medium heat until each side is lightly browned and the cheese is melty. Inspired by this recipe.

I made these little sandwiches to accompany some Sketch-Free Broccoli Cheese Soup (recipe to follow). I love fresh apples but sometimes struggle to find savory ways to use them. Be sure to use a tart apple with a firm texture. You really want a punch of flavor and a good crunch when you bite into this delicious sandwich.

Brie, Ham, Apple Grilled Cheese with Whole Grain Mustard

• 4 slices good bread (think sourdough, etc)
• 4 ounces of sliced ham
• 4 ounces of sliced Brie
• 1/2 apple, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
• Butter

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices of the bread, butter side down in a non-stick skillet. Layer each sandwich in this order – 2 oz ham, 2 oz brie, 1/4 apple, 1 tbsp whole grain mustard. Top each sandwich with the last slice of bread. Grill until browned on each side and the cheese is melted. Serves 2.

This sandwich is absolutely divine! Everything about it is perfect. It takes a little time to create it but that time is well spent. I can’t wait to make this again! Thanks to BS in the Kitchen for this recipe. I can never repay you for the beauty you have brought to my palate. 🙂

Caramelized Onion & Mushroom Brie Grilled Cheese

• 4 slices French bread
• Brie cheese
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 5 mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup concentrated beef broth
• 1/4 tsp thyme
• Flour
• Butter
• Salt & Pepper

In a non-stick skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter on medium heat. Add the onion, stir to coat them with the butter. Stir periodically after that, allowing them to brown, but not burn. After about 15 minutes, turn down the heat to medium-low. Add the mushrooms, garlic, more butter, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of flour over the mixture and stir. Gradually add small amounts of the beef broth, allowing the broth to reduce before adding more.

When the entire amount of broth is added and reduced, butter the two slices of bread. Layer one slice of bread, desired amount of Brie, desired amount of mushroom mixture, desired amount of Brie, and top with one slice of bread. Grill the sandwich, browning on each side. Serve immediately. Makes 2 sandwiches.
