Light lunches or a mid-day( at 2 o'clock when school comes out) snack is always a problem for me, because we have our dinner at night, so it can't be too heavy, but the children do want something a little more substantial. Well today they were in luck! I had some mushrooms and blue cheese and in no time I had these delicious open sandwiches ready!
Mushroom and Blue Cheese on Toasted Ciabatta
Ingredients - for about 4 open sandwiches
250g mushrooms - sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic - crushed
125ml cream
blue cheese - use as mush as you like - I used about 50gr
crushed black pepper
salt
Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the mushrooms and the garlic. Sautee until it browns slightly. Add the cream and reduce a bit. Crumble the cheese in the sauce and allow it to melt. Season with salt and lots of black pepper. Serve with baby gem lettuce on thick slices of toasted ciabatta.

looks good and I love mushrooms although I ve never tried them with blue cheese :)
You're so right, perfect for back-to-school and also looking so yummy.

My "Why I love Nina" for the day is because you obviously love cheese as much as I do!
I would love this as an afternoon snack at work. It looks so lovely.
I would love to dive in into that lovely sandwich, Nina!!
MMMMMM...
That would make me very happy as a lunch time treat.
Hope you feeling better soon ;)
Haven't been visiting my friends lately, been a bit busy getting Markwin ready to go back to school. He is loving his school. He has battled getting used to not ruling the roost like home, but now is in a smaller room with just one other boy (who is older) and hopefully will be more comfortable in his space.
Your children are so lucky to have a mom who fixes these gourmet goodies. Will you adopt me?

I hate coming to your blog - because I ALWAYS get super hungry...these photos look fantastic!
Nina - your pictures are amazing! I so want one of those right now please!!
WOW, very nice spread for a perfect bruschetta!
Wow... I wish my afternoon snacks looked like that! I always thought that I was spoiled because my mom cut up fresh fruit and crudités with us... now I'm not so sure... I think your kids may be even more spoiled than I was! That looks and sounds awesome.
This is my idea of heaven! Yet another wonderful recipe and beautiful photos Nina.
Your kids have sophistacated tastes and eat well. Great idea.
super combo, i love it!
Oh my goodness, those look good. I am amazed that your kids eat blue cheese: obviously, you've been a good teacher to them!
How could a mushroom fan resist? Beautiful.
Those look amazing! Not only good for back to school! This would be delicious for any day of the week or year, as I just love blue cheese and any kind of mushroom. In fact; I might be making this real soon!
That's a great snack! Looks delicious with the lettuce too.
Mushrooms and blue cheese is such a great flavour combination!
Mushrooms and bleu...a find appetizer/snack it is.
These look marvellous - almost worth going back to school for :)
