Our supper last night was just too yummy not to share. These melts are inspired by Steak 'n Shake's Portobella & Swiss burgers which the hubby and I both love. The secret ingredient??? Garlic Mayo...um, yes please. Seriously, it makes the burger, in this case, the melt. I used homemade whole wheat oatmeal bread for the toast, slathered (fun word) on some homemade garlic mayo, sliced aged swiss, sauteed onions & portobellas, my father-in-laws beef patties for a seriously awesome sandwich.
Multigrain baked onion rings, freezer corn & peaches rounded out the meal. Oh, and we had to make a last minute run to Main Street Mercantile for a scoop or two of ice cream to top off our meal!
8 oz box mini bella mushrooms, washed & sliced
1 small onion, sliced thin
olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 burger patties
4 slices aged swiss
4 slices toast
Garlic Mayo
4 tbsp Mayo (not Miracle Whip...eww)
1/2 tsp crushed garlic paste
dash of lemon juice
Cook burgers as desired. We used our little panini grill. In a skillet, heat oil and add onions. Cook onions down on medium-low heat to caramelize them, which takes longer than you think...probably about 5-10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until soft.
For the mayo, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and add more garlic or lemon depending on your taste...we like garlic in this house. :)
Assemble melts. Ours looked like this: bread, mayo, cheese slice, burger patty, another cheese slice, 1/2 mushroom/onion mixture, top off with bread slathered with more mayo.
Oh so good...
I want another one...
Now...
Bummer, we ate it all last night.
:)
Enjoy!
