    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Prepare Cream Cheese

    In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, and fresh thyme until well combined.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the lemon-thyme cream cheese on the grilled mushrooms, layer with grilled bell peppers, onions, Swiss and cheddar cheese, and top with mixed greens.
