I used baby bellas and sharp Cheddar. Much enjoyed. Thanks! Made for the Best of 2010 game.

A great sandwich which the DM and I thoroughly enjoyed. I used an aged vintage cheddar cheese and put a heap of pepper on mine but not the DM's as she is not so keen on pepper and with the mushrooms (I used swiss brown) and wholemeal/wholegrain bread and made them in the sandwich press. I served mine with a side salad and we both thoroughly enjoyed, thank you UmmBinat, made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup.

This is a great grilled cheese. I used wheat bread. And mature cheddar with black pepper. For us there was too much oregano with the mushrooms. I may reduce it next time. But the cheese and mushroom together is so great. Thanks UmmBinat :) Made for the Recipe Swap October 2010
