  • 1 Tbsp. butter or possibly margarine
  • 1/2 c. minced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 c. minced onion
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slc home-style white bread
  • 4 slc American cheese Or possibly
  • 2 slc Cheddar cheese (3 ounces halved crosswise)
  • 2 slc part-skim mozzarella cheese (3 ounces) halved crosswise For the egg coating:
  • 1 lrg egg
  • 1 lrg egg white
  • 3 Tbsp. low-fat (1% milkfat) lowfat milk Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

  1. Step 1: To prepare the sandwiches, in a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat butter over moderate heat. Cook mushrooms, onions, and pepper in butter till vegetables are tender. Remove from skillet.
  2. Step 2: For each sandwich, layer a slice of bread, a slice of American cheese, some of the mushroom-onion mix, a half-slice of mozzarella cheese, and another slice of bread.
  3. Step 3: To prepare the egg coating, in a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, and lowfat milk. Dip sandwiches in coating to coat on both sides. Wipe out skillet. Coat skillet with cooking spray. In the skillet, cook sandwiches, 2 at a time, over moderate heat till bread is golden brown and cheese begins to heat, turning once.
  4. NOTES : Originally, these luscious, warm sandwiches were coated in egg like French toast and then deep fried. Today's lighter version uses egg whites and is pan fried to give the same golden crust and creamy center with less fat.
  5. Preparation Time: 10 min.
  6. Cooking Time: 13 min.
