Mushrooms and Onions over Texas Toast
In this Mushrooms and Onions recipe, I combine the ideas behind a Mushroom and Swiss Sandwich with French Onion Soup and Stuffed Mushrooms. Then I wrap them up into one glorious recipe that just can’t be denied. The Broth soaks into the toasted garlic bread and the addition of Swiss cheese just melts through and around every ingredient. So, each bite you take is simply amazing!
