It was one of those days.
You don’t want to cook dinner. You need to eat dinner. You don’t want to buy dinner. The best solution: homemade dinner in 10 minutes. But dinner in 10 minutes is not always an easy thing to do.
I was hungry and my afternoon class was finishing soon. So I started to think about what I would eat. I had a recipe I wanted to make, but it was a long recipe and I didn’t feel like making it.
I thought about my Grilled Goat Cheese and Mushroom Sandwich and how easy it is to make (and how delicious it is!). I didn’t have goat cheese but I did have some leftover raclette cheese. So I came home and made a 5 minute dinner with raclette cheese.
Raclette Cheese, Mushroom and Onion Grilled Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 white mushrooms, sliced
- 2 thin slices onion (3 if the onion is small)
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 slices raclette cheese
- Black pepper to taste
- Margarine or butter
Directions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion and sautee until mushrooms are cooked. Remove from heat. Place one slice of cheese on a slice of bread. Top with the mushrooms and onions, add black pepper to taste, then add the second slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread and spread butter or margarine on the outsides of the sandwich. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (or use a panini press). Place the sandwich on the skillet and press with a spatula until golden. Repeat on the other side. Serve immediately.

This sandwich was super easy to make and it was delicious! The mushrooms and onion go perfectly with the raclette cheese and a gooey gourmet grilled cheese sandwich is always happily welcomed by my hungry belly!
this looks wonderful
Yummy sandwich. And super fast which is a huge bonus. I love how much passion you have for cooking. It’s refreshing from someone your age. I applaud you for blogging and being an inspiration to other young bloggers. I try to do yoga but I get stuck in weird positions and end up laughing my head off. Not very zen-like for anyone around me. Lol! Have a great week. Buzzing this one. xx
Those are the days I turn to breakfast for dinner – my kids call is binner and LOVE it! So it’s a win-win, and they all agree on it which is nice!
Great sandwich! Any time you can get a meal ready in less than 10 minutes is a great feet in my opinion!
I know those “instant gratification meal” days well! Good on you for taking the time to make this inspired sandwich rather than just going for take-out.
I am not sure what raclette cheese is…but there pretty much isn’t any cheese I don’t like so I would probably love this!
That sandwich sounds soooo good! I especially love the addition of mushrooms. 🙂
Looks delish! I’ve never heard of Raclette cheese. What does it taste like?
It has a milky, nutty flavor and it is semi-firm, but really creamy when melted. Closest I can think of is Jarlsberg.
