    Mushroom Sandwich

    My family and I are big mushroom fans. We love mushrooms with almost every meal, so when we had leftover garlic butter mushrooms and our favorite bread, I knew what had to be done: I needed to make a mushroom sandwich!

    This mushroom grilled cheese is one of the best grilled cheese recipes you will ever try. The earthy, garlicky mushrooms pair so well with melted cheese, sandwiched between two crispy pieces of bread. Use an artisan bread for this recipe, and you will truly have a gourmet grilled cheese.

    Even better when you pair it with a side of soup. French onion is my favorite for this dish!

    Serve, and enjoy! I love serving this mushroom grilled cheese recipe with a side of soup. French onion works very well to complement the flavors of a mushroom sandwich.

    Mushroom Cheese Sandwich Recipe Tips

    • Try my favorite 10-Quart Air Fryer for this recipe.
    • Try other cheeses according to your preference! For a spicy mushroom cheese sandwich, you could use pepper jack cheese. If you like yours even creamier, you could use a rich cheese like gruyere and cut it with the sharpness of a slice of white cheddar.
    • Use whichever mushrooms you like best. I used garlic butter button mushrooms for this recipe, but you could even use pan-fried portobello mushrooms.

    Mushroom Sandwich Recipe FAQs

    What kind of cheese goes with mushroom?

    Mushrooms pair well with almost any kind of cheese. Swiss, gruyere, provolone, or an aged cheddar are all classic choices, but creamy cheeses like goat cheese and brie are great for pairing with mushrooms, too.

    What is the secret to a good grilled cheese sandwich?

    The secret to a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to butter the outside of the bread before baking or air frying it. You can pan fry grilled cheese too, but baking melts the cheese to perfection without burning the outside of the bread, so you get the perfect ratio of crispy on the outside and creamy in the center.
