WOW! These were totally, wonderfully delicious. What a superb sandwich filling! As we ate these we could not resist declaring - between mouthfuls - that we want to make these again - and again. :) I just had to add some minced garlic and a generous sprinkling of fresh oregano and thyme. I used butter which I prefer in cooking, the specified cheeses and crusty ciabatta. Thank you for sharing this wonderful - already very favourite - recipe, NELady! Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5.

5 Stars Jessie for this wonderful recipe... it was awesome. I used sour dough bread, and extra old cheddar and mozzeralla, cremini mushrooms and sweet onions, butter and farm fresh eggs. OMG was this good. Comforting and very filling. I can't wait to make this for my hubby when he returns. Happily made for the JOY of vegetables.

Lovely sandwiches, easily put together and very much enjoyed. I didnt use the mushrooms, and added ham to my daughters sandwiches, and tomatoes to those for myself and husband. I loved the addition of onions, and this made a beautifully light snack supper, thank you for sharing this one! Made for ZWT5, Family Picks, Jammin' Java Jivers
