Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 250 grams Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 pieces Ciabatta bread (halved lengthwise or 4 slices)
• 100 grams Mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for toasting bread)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped thyme, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, then add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the creamy, cheesy sauce.

Step 5

Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Butter the cut sides of the ciabatta bread slices and toast them in a hot skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

Step 7

Evenly divide the mushroom mixture onto the bottom slices of the toasted bread.

Step 8

Top the mushroom mixture with mozzarella cheese and place the sandwiches on a baking sheet. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Place the top slices of the bread over the cheese to assemble the sandwiches. Cut in half if desired and garnish with fresh parsley if using.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy!
