Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 24 oz (1 1/2 lbs) white mushrooms, diced
  • 8 oz beef, chopped into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • A pinch of black pepper, or adjusted to your preference
  • 2 1/2 cups (8 oz) finely shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 tender French baguettes, cut into slices about 1/2-inch thick

Guidelines:

  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a big pan over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic. Add the chopped onion and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it is soft and transparent. After that, add the minced garlic and heat for a further minute, or until the scent emerges.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the chopped mushrooms, onions, and garlic to a pan. Simmer the mushrooms over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they start to brown and release moisture. Stir regularly. To taste, add salt and black pepper for seasoning.
  3. To make the beef chop it and fry it in a separate skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy. When finished, move the beef to a plate covered with paper towels to remove any extra grease.
  4. Mixing the Ingredients: After the mushrooms are cooked, take the pan off of the burner and mix in the mayonnaise, chopped parsley and crispy bacon.
  5. Get the toasts ready: Turn on the grill on high in your oven. Place the cut baguette toasts in an arrangement on a baking pan. Under the grill, roast them gently for one to two minutes, or until the tops become golden brown.
  6. Put the Sandwich Melts Together: Place a substantial portion of the bacon and mushroom mixture onto each piece of bread. Add a large amount of the shredded Mexican cheese mix on top of each one.
  7. To Melt the Cheese, Broil: Once the cheese is completely melted and bubbling, return the stacked toasts to the oven and broil for an additional two to three minutes.
    Serve and Garnish: Take the sandwich melts out of the oven and sprinkle some more chopped parsley on top. Savour the deep, savoury flavours by serving hot right away.
