National Grilled Cheese Month!

Since it is National Grilled Cheese month, I thought it was only right that I would post a recipe. This is definitely one of our favorites and a go to when we are looking for a comforting meal









Ingredients
2 Slices Sour Dough Bread
2 Ounces Smoked Provolone – Shredded
¼ Cup Mushrooms
¼ Cup Caramelized Onions
Her Butter

Spread herb butter on one side of each of the two slices of bread. Place half of the cheese on the un-buttered side of the bread. Add the mushrooms and onions and then cover with remaining cheese. Place the other piece of bread on top buttered side up. Place in a hot pan that is on medium to medium low heat. Cook until browned on both sides and cheese is melted.

There will be enough onions and mushrooms to make at least 2 sandwiches.

Mushrooms
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Cloves Garlic – Chopped
16oz Cremini Mushrooms
1 Teaspoon Fresh Rosemary – Chopped
1 ½ Teaspoons Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Salt to taste

Melt butter in a sauté pan and add chopped garlic, cook for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. (You will not need to add liquid at this point as the mushrooms will create their own). Add Rosemary, Soy Sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Check for seasoning and add salt if necessary

Onions
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Large Yellow Onion – Sliced very thin
2 Shallots – Sliced very thin

Melt butter in pan and add shallot, cook for 2 minutes. Add onions and cook stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 30 minutes. (If it looks like they are starting to burn add a dash or two of beef stock or white wine)

Herb Butter
2 Tablespoons Butter – Softened
1 Teaspoon Rosemary – Chopped
1 Teaspoon Thyme – Chopped
1 Garlic Clove – Chopped
¼ Teaspoon Salt

Combine all ingredients
Enjoy!!
