Grilled Wild Mushroom and Brie Cheese Sandwich

These are decadent and wonderful and give a whole new meaning to "grilled cheese". Be sure to use a very good sourdough and the freshest of mushrooms. Note: This is a difficult sandwich to turn in the pan, but definitely worth the hassle. Enjoy!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 8 ounces brie cheese (sliced)
  • 4 ounces button mushrooms (quartered)
  • 2 ounces shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 ounces oyster mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 medium shallot (chopped)
  • 2 ounces white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives and or basil)
  • soft butter (as needed)
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper (as needed)

Directions

  1. 1
    Saute the mushrooms in the olive oil in a medium sized pan for 4-5 minutes.
  2. 2
    Add the shallots and garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the chopped herbs.
  4. 4
    Add the white wine and reduce until the liquid is evaporated.
  5. 5
    Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper and set aside.
  6. 6
    Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the butter side down on four slices of the bread in a large non-stick fry pan at medium-low heat.
  7. 7
    Divide the mushrooms into four and place them evenly on the four slices of bread.
  8. 8
    Top the mushrooms with the Brie and cover with the other slices of buttered bread. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown; then turn and cook on the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  9. 9
    Cut and serve immediately.

Annacia these are fantastic! I loved them, used the exact mushrooms, i did use light rye instead of sourdough bc it was what i had and it has a bit of sour taste in it too. the only change i might make is to add some more brie on top of the mushrooms after i turn it over

    A fabulous MUST-TRY recipe for all mushroom-lovers, especially if you're also partial to garlic and brie! I made these exactly to the recipe but I certainly will not hesitate to make these sandwiches again with a different range of mushrooms if those specified are not available. Loved the herbs, shallot and wine in this recipe: all in all a great blend of flavours. I shall be making these often, especially as the ingredients are ones I pretty well always have on hand. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Annacia. Made for Gimme 5.

    I had this sandwich at a local restaurant and it is divine. The only thing they do differently was add a light spread of dijon mustard on the bread.
