Cheese & mushroom panini

[Shazzz1xx]

love these use to get them everyday from flavours cafe
I’m getting a sandwich toaster to make them for Christmas but am I been thick in asking so you put the mushrooms in the bread with the cheese raw or cook them first ? 🤓
would like a quick toastie having a baby rather than cook the mushrooms first lol
Thanks

You'll definitely have to cook the mushrooms first won't you? They let out a lot of liquid when cooked and that'd ruin your bread if you tried to do it at the same time.

I agree, you would have to cook them otherwise your panini would be very soggy! I prefer mushrooms fried, but my mum used to microwave them for a couple of minutes to go in bacon butties, which could be a quick easy way of cooking them and getting rid of the water.

You could use mushroom antipasto instead of fresh. Most supermarkets do jars now.

Awwww Thankyou all for you replies
Merry Christmas 🎄 xxx

Just cook up about 3 days worth of mushrooms at a time and pop them in the fridge. Remember to season well.

I put them in raw and they’ve always been fine, i bloody love a cheese and mushroom toastie!

What keeps a panini crisp is lots of fat on the bread. That’s why mushrooms tend to be added between two cheese layers rather than on top. A lot of places like Starbucks use either dried / rehydrated mushrooms as they sweat less

Raw mushrooms cook really nicely in a cheese toastie - no need to cook them first 😋

Awww thanks guys, carnt wait for Xmas to get my new toastie/panini maker… will try all ways that’s mensioned.. merry Christmas x

Slice the mushrooms very thinly and use in your sandwich without cooking.

You could use tinned ones.

Made this three times since you posted. I think I'm obsessed.

Haha @trickytrudy 😁 x

Do you have a panini / toaster press ? x

No , ust do it in a frying pan and then toast with a very heavy casserole pot balancing on top!
