Servings: 2
Course: Lunch
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ sweet yellow onion sliced

  • Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of Tuscan or Sourdough bread
  • Chaumes cheese sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them for 10 minutes before adding the mushrooms.
  2. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are caramelized and tender.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir constantly for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the stove and set it aside.
  4. Preheat the panini grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet.
  5. Layer one piece of bread with the slices of Chaumes, top the cheese with the onions and mushrooms mixture then place the other piece of bread on top.  Side Note: I cook my sandwiches dry (no butter or oil) because they are healthier and they turn out extra crispy, but feel free to butter your bread if desired.
  6. Place the sandwich in the hot panini maker for 5 minutes. Slice in half and serve immediately. Enjoy. Side Note: If you are using a grill pan or skillet, cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown, then flip over and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden brown and melty.
