Our "oh no, there is nothing for lunch" favorite recipe is a mushroom grilled cheese sammiches. Sautéed Oyster mushrooms are so versatile they became our staple. I usually cook them on Sunday with or without onions/garlic, depending on the mood. Then, if we run out of "school lunch" items, it takes 5 min to make a grilled cheese. To reduce the time to 3 min, I often broil 2 sides of the sandwich open faced to melt the cheese and put them together as we run out of the door. This grilled cheese will not be greasy and is Oh, so yummy! Here is one of the recipes. Feel free to experiment.
