• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Coriander Leaves (Finely Chopped)
• 1 Tsp Butter
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Method

• Cook the mushrooms well in a wok or a heavy-bottomed pan.
• Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a wok or a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat; add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until water has evaporated (mushrooms release water when cooked).
• Once all the water and moisture evaporate, add the green chilies, salt, and black pepper and sauté until all the ingredients come together. Turn off the heat; stir in coriander leaves, mix, and set aside.
• Spread the butter on the slices of bread. Add about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture on one slice and cover with the other slice.
• You can now grill the Sandwiches using a Panini Press or Sandwich Maker and serve them warm.
• You can alternatively use a tawa and toast the sandwich. Place the untoasted sandwich on the tawa on a low-medium flame and place a heavy plate on top of the sandwich so that the mushroom filling stays inside. Remove the plate and flip to the other side to get an evenly toasted sandwich.
• Serve the Grilled Mushroom Sandwich Recipe with herbs for breakfast or even pack them into your lunch boxes or even take them for picnics. Serve.
