- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices, evenly distribute the grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Top with the sautéed garlic mushrooms and close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up.
3. Grill the Sandwiches:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the prepared sandwiches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
4. Serve:
- Let the sandwiches cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, savory flavors!
