Instructions
Creating the Easy Swiss Mushroom Melt is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté Mushrooms: In a skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
4. Prepare Bread: On a baking sheet, place the slices of bread and divide the sautéed mushrooms evenly among them.
5. Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the mushrooms on each slice of bread.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
7. Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and presentation.
8. Serve: Cut the melts in half or quarters for easy serving and enjoy immediately while hot.
