Method

Prepare the Mushroom Topping

  1. 1

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced button mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and flavorful. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Patty

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef (or plant-based meat), breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 4

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a patty about the same size as the ciabatta loaf (around 1 inch thick).

  3. 5

    Cook the Patty

    In the same skillet used for the mushrooms, add a bit of oil if necessary and cook the patty over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

Assemble the Ciabatta Melt

  1. 6

    Toast the Ciabatta

    Slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally and spread butter on the cut sides. Toast it in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the toasted ciabatta, place the cooked patty, then top with the sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese slices.

  3. 8

    Melt the Cheese

    Cover the melt with the top half of the ciabatta loaf and return to the skillet. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove from heat, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.
