Instructions

  • Heat a skillet to medium heat. Melt butter, then saute mushrooms for 2-3 minutes and season with salt and pepper. When soft and golden brown, remove from heat and add parsley.

  • Air fry at 350°F for 5 minutes on one side. Flip, then cook for an additional 5 minutes. To make in the oven instead, place on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes on each side at 450°F.

Notes

  • 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.
