Grilled Mushroom Cheesesteaks

Makes 6 sandwiches (depending on sandwich roll size)

Cook Time: About half an hour

Ingredients

For the mushrooms:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced thinly
• 20 ounces baby bella or white button mushrooms, sliced (I used a mixture of both)
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 avocado

For the cheese “wiz” sauce:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup milk (warmed for 1 minute in microwave)
• 4 ounces Extra Sharp Cheddar
• 6 (about 6 inch) whole-wheat rolls

Directions

1. In a grill pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add mushrooms and grill for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add soy sauce and black pepper, stir and grill for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan.
4. Place rolls, cut side down on pan and grill for a few minutes until toasted.
5. While mushrooms are grilling, make cheese sauce by placing a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add butter and once melted, whisk in flour.
6. Slowly pour in warm milk, whisking constantly. Whisk frequently until sauce thickens (about 2 – 3 minutes.)
7. Slowly whisk in cheese and whisk until melted. Remove from stove.
8. To assemble sandwiches, divide mushrooms evenly among the rolls. Pour cheese sauce over mushrooms, add scoops or slices of avocado, and serve immediately.
