- Prep the Ingredients:
- Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Lightly toast the slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or toaster oven.
- Sauté the Veggies:
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced red onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- On two slices of toasted bread, evenly distribute half of the shredded cheese mixture.
- Top the cheese with the sautéed red onion and mushrooms, followed by a layer of baby spinach leaves.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the spinach, then cover each sandwich with the remaining two slices of toasted bread.
- Grill the Sandwiches:
- Lightly coat the preheated skillet or griddle with cooking spray.
- Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Press down gently on the sandwiches with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning and melting.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the sandwiches are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two.
- Slice the grilled cheese sandwiches diagonally for a classic presentation, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
