Ingredients

• 1 Lion's Mane mushroom (medium size)
• Your favorite bread roll or burger bun
• 1 medium onion
• 2 slices of Swiss cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3 teaspoons butter
• Salt and pepper according to taste

Equipment

• Pan
• Toaster (optional)

Instructions

1. Preparing The Filling

Slice the onions into long, thin strips. Next, squeeze the mushroom against a paper towel to draw the water out.

From head to foot, cut the mushroom into 1/2-inch steaks (like broccoli). In a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, arrange the mushrooms.

2. Cooking The Filling

Sautee the onions in a pan with one teaspoon of olive oil and one teaspoon of butter over medium heat until they reach the desired level of caramelization. Next, add your mushrooms. 

After 5 minutes, flip the mushrooms once they have been browned. Cook the second side for five minutes and season each with salt and pepper.

Add one teaspoon of butter, covering each mushroom, and stir-fry until both sides are golden. Finally, take it out of the pan.

3. Final Touches

In the same pan, toast the bread and, if preferred, add one teaspoon of butter. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on the bread and cover the pan to melt the cheese. Add a lot of onions and mushrooms to your sandwich. Serve and enjoy!
