Hot Mushroom Sandwiches Recipes

HOT MUSHROOM

Steps:

• For the spice mix: Combine cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt and sugar in a bowl. (This will keep for 3 to 4 months in an airtight container.)
• For the slaw: Combine the cabbage and Pickled Celery thoroughly.
• For the scallion mayo: Add soy milk, lemon juice, mustard, salt, vinegar, scallions and garlic to a blender and blend until a homogenous color. With the blender running, slowly add the oil to emulsify. If the mayo becomes too thick, add a little ice water to thin it out.
• For the sandwich: Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Heat cornstarch in 4 quarts water in a saucepan until clear.
• Coat mushrooms in cornstarch slurry, then fry until the exterior is golden brown. While the mushroom is still very hot from the fryer, coat in 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture, and a little extra salt. Coat both sides of the focaccia in the scallion mayo, then place the mushroom on top, and 1 cup slaw on top of that.
• Heat up the sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, salt, turmeric, celery seeds and coriander seeds in a pot until it reaches a boil. Pour over the celery and onion in a large bowl. Let sit until cool.

GRILLED HAM, CHEESE AND MUSHROOM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When very hot, add 1/2 tablespoon butter and half of the mushrooms; cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with 1/2 tablespoon more butter and the remaining mushrooms; transfer to the bowl. Add the herbs to the bowl and toss; season with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet.
• Build the sandwiches: Spread each slice of bread with mustard and sandwich with the cheddar, ham, mushroom mixture and muenster.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over low heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, turning once and adding more butter if needed, until the bread is golden and the cheese melts, about 12 minutes.

HOT OPEN-FACED HAM, SWISS CHEESE, AND MUSHROOM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the mustard, the dill, and salt and pepper to taste. In a skillet cook the mushrooms in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated, and remove the skillet from the heat. On a baking sheet spread one side of each slice of toast with half the mayonnaise mixture, top each toast with a slice of the ham, half the mushrooms, a slice of the Swiss cheese, half the onion, and salt and pepper to taste, and broil the sandwiches under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned lightly.

HOT MUSHROOM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mince mushrooms and shallots. Saute in 2 tablespoons butter. Allow liquid from mushrooms to cook down.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in separate pan; stir in flour to make roux (paste). Add chicken stock, cream, cayenne, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. Cook until mixture becomes quite thick. (Don't let heat get too high.)When mixture is thick add mushroom mixture.
• Trim crusts from bread. Spread some mushroom mixture on one slice of bread, add second slice, more mushroom mixture, then add third and final slice of bread. Don't spread mushroom mixture to edges, or it will ooze out. There should be enough mushroom mixture to make 7 triple-decker sandwiches.).
• Preheat oven or toaster-oven to 400°F Toast sandwiches 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are slightly golden in color. Cut each sandwich into three fingers and serve warm.
