• Allow the mushrooms to fry until golden brown then add the garlic, chilli and oregano. Allow to cook for another minute then season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• To assemble the sandwiches, mix the mozzarella with the cheddar. Divide the cheese between four slices of bread. Top with mushrooms and sandwich with the remaining slices of bread. Generously butter both sides of the sandwich .
• Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the cheese has melted and the sandwiches are golden brown and crisp on both sides.
• Remove from the pan, slice and serve.

MUSHROOM GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once the butter is starting to sizzle, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook for a few minutes undisturbed. Check the bottom of the mushrooms, and, when they're golden brown and caramelized on the edges, flip. Continue to cook until the other side is caramelized, as well. Add the onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine and allow the liquid to cook off for another minute. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
• Butter one side of each of the four slices of bread. Assemble the sandwiches with one piece of bread (buttered side out) followed by a slice of cheese, half the mushrooms, another slice of cheese, then a second slice of bread, buttered side out.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and grill for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crisp on one side. Carefully flip the sandwiches, cover the pan with a lid or cookie sheet, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until the opposite side is golden and cheese is extra melty. Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM GRUYERE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• For the truffle spread: Thoroughly combine the robiola, lemon zest, rosemary, truffle oil and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Reserve at room temperature.
• For the mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add just enough of the mushrooms to loosely cover the bottom of the skillet (you should be able to see the pan between the mushrooms). Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, then gently turn the mushrooms over as they brown and soften.
• Add a little chopped shallot and garlic, some butter and some rosemary and thyme to the pan. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes more; transfer to a paper towel.
• Wipe out the skillet and repeat the process, cooking the mushrooms in small batches. Reserve at room temperature.
• For the grilled cheese: Preheat a griddle over moderately low heat to 350 degrees F.
• Brush one side of each bread slice with softened butter. Spread the opposite side with truffle spread (1/4 cup per slice). Top each with a slice of fontina and a slice of Gruyere Spoon 1/2 cup of the mushrooms onto each slice. Sprinkle with the herbs and season with salt. Close the sandwiches.
• Set the sandwiches on the hot griddle and press with a large baking sheet weighted down with cans. Cook until toasted, 3 minutes per side.
• Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve hot.
