Ok so I feel a little silly calling this a recipe. I mean we all know how to make a toasted sandwich, right? Well, what you may not know is this delicious veggie combination. And we sure do love these Mushroom Spinach Toasted Sandwiches. Perfect for busy weeknights or a quick and delicious lunch, these toasties hit the spot.
We have been having these Mushroom and Spinach Toasted Sandwiches a bit recently. Miss Three (who adores mushrooms) especially loves these. They are great with soup and they really fill out the meal. And if you are looking for a fabulous soup recipe you should definitely try my deliciously creamy Pumpkin Soup or my yummy Creamy Tomato Soup.
These toasties are also just as great on their own and I love these Mushroom and Spinach Toasted Sandwiches for a veggie packed lunch. And as you know, toasted sandwiches are so quick to pull together. These are also perfect for mum lunches and a lot of offices have facilities to make these at work so you can always prepare them in advance and toast them at work for a warming and delicious lunch.
You can either quickly sauté the mushrooms in a frypan or even in the toasted sandwich machine (which actually works quite well) before assembling or just add them in raw. I preferred the flavour when they were sautéed. You also don’t need to include them at all. Mr 7 does not really enjoy the mushrooms in these so I just leave them out for him.
I used Swiss cheese with these toasted sandwiches but really you can use any cheese. I just really loved the flavour of the Swiss cheese in them and think they pimp them up a little. Also this flavour combination makes delicious quesadillas so instead of making traditional toasted sandwiches why not make them with tortillas instead of the sourdough.
