- Servings: 2 sandwiches
- Level: A breeze!
- Prep + Cook: 45 mins
Ingredients (10)
- 1/2 pound wild mushrooms: (e.g., chanterelles, wood ears, lobster mushrooms, maitakes, etc.) - feel free to use whatever's available
- 2 oz extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 oz garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- A dash of Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 oz flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tbsp (1/8 stick) unsalted butter
- 6 oz Taleggio cheese, sliced
- 4 slices brioche
Directions to the Stars:
- Heat the oven to 375°F and slot in a rack in the middle.
- Spread out the mushrooms in a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle with oil, toss in the garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley, and give it a gentle stir. Roast those babies until soft and a tad browned (25 minutes). Keep 'em warm.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet or nonstick pan large enough to hold 4 slices of brioche. Distribute the Taleggio evenly over the bread slices. Cook until the brioche underside turns golden and crisp (about 4 minutes).
- Distribute the roasted mushrooms between 2 of the brioche slices. Top with the remaining 2 slices, cheese-side down. Kyaa, it's a thing of beauty! Slice diagonally in half, place the victors on warmed plates, and dig in!
