Ingredients

Serves: 2

Prep time: 20-25 minutes 
Cook time: 25-30 minutes

  • 2 Amoroso's rolls
  • 3 large portobello mushrooms
  • 1 white or Vidalia onion
  • 6–8 slices Cooper Cheese
  • Neutral oil (canola, avocado, or vegetable oil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

MUSHROOMS – TWO PREP OPTIONS

Steam Method (preferred for tender texture)

  1. Steam whole portobello caps until softened.
  2. Let cool slightly.
  3. Slice thin.

Fry Method

  1. Slice mushrooms thin first.
  2. Fry in neutral oil until browned and tender.

1. Caramelize the onions

  • Slice onion into 1/4-inch half moons.
  • Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add onions with a pinch of salt.
  • Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized.

2. Cook mushrooms

  • Add prepared mushrooms to the pan.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until tender and slightly browned.

3. Melt the cheese

  • Layer Cooper Sharp cheese directly over the mushrooms and onions.
  • Let it begin melting.
  • Toss and mix everything together once the cheese softens.

4. Toast the rolls

  • Toast the Amoroso rolls until lightly crisp outside but still soft inside.

5. Assemble

  • Load the hot mushroom-cheese mixture into the toasted rolls.
  • Serve immediately.
