    The grown up version of an amazing grilled cheese; great served with a salad on the side

    Mushroom Gruyere Grilled Cheese from Living Well Kitchen ~ The grown up version of an amazing grilled cheese - serve with a salad on the side.

    Grilled cheeses are so versatile. And delicious. And easy. And cheap. Oh, they are just great.

    They can even be healthy if you use whole wheat bread, reduced-fat cheese (or less of the regular kind), and add some veggies... just like my Mushroom-Gruyere Grilled Cheese.

    It really does take less than 20 minutes to make, so make this for dinner tonight if you don't already have plans.

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
    • 2½ cups chopped mushrooms about 8 button mushrooms
    • pinch of salt
    • 2 teaspoon red wine
    • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
    • 4 slices 100% whole grain bread
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened or heart-healthy butter spread
    • 1½ ounces Gruyere cheese grated

    Instructions

    • Over medium heat, heat oil in a large skillet. Add mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt-free seasoning and salt. Add red wine and stir until it evaporates. Remove from heat and stir in thyme.
    • Spread ½ teaspoon butter over each slice of bread. On the non-buttered side of two slices, put about ½ ounce of cheese. Top with mushrooms. Top mushrooms with remaining ¼ ounce cheese. Put other slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
    • Over medium-high heat, cook grilled cheese until bread is toasted and cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side. Enjoy!

    Notes

    *You could substitute the gruyere with Swiss cheese, Emmentaler, or Jarlsberg
