Cheesy beef and mushroom toasted sandwich recipe

This quick and easy melt is totally moreish.

Combining the umami flavours of meat patties, cheese, onions and mushrooms with tangy rye bread delivers a luscious and filling sandwich. If you aren’t in the mood for barbecuing, then this recipe works just as well cooked in a heavy fry pan.

Method

1. Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat. Add the patties to the grill. Cook for 13-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until fully cooked.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the barbecue plate and add onion and mushrooms. Fry until well cooked, then season with salt. Set aside.
3. Add the rye bread and fry until lightly toasted. Lay 2 mozzarella slices on top of each. Pop a lid on the BBQ and cook for 30 seconds, until the cheese is melted.
4. To assemble, place patties on a cheesy rye bread slice, slather garlic mayo, top with mushroom onion mix, then top with another cheesy melt. Serve while hot and deliciously melted.
