Turkey + Pepper Panini. In November I bought myself a panini press.

Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich (aka The Mushroom Melt) Mushrooms are one of my absolute favourite foods and it was long past time that I gave them the grilled cheese treatment!

I wanted to keep things relatively simple without compromising in flavour so I stared out by sauteing some onions and mushrooms slowly until they turned golden brown and caramelized bringing out all of their tastiness. Next I deglazed the pan with a splash of white wine to make sure that none of the flavour that had built up in those brown bits that stick to the bottom of the pan went to waste. If you are a fan of truffles then this is where you can indulge a bit and add some truffle oil to the mushrooms to make this sandwich even more decadent!
