Serve while warm and enjoy!
- I used closed cup mushrooms for this delicious sandwich, but you could use large flat cap or portobello mushrooms or even chestnut mushrooms.
- A pinch of paprika or chill powder added to the mushrooms while they cook gives a nice little bit of heat.
- This sandwich is best eaten warm while the cheese is soft and melted, but is still pretty good when cold.
