Beef and Mushroom Sandwich

One of my favorites in Wendy’s (an international fast food chain originated in Ohio, United States, also available in the Philippines) is their mouth watering Mushroom Swiss burger. Sad that we don’t have a branch of Wendy’s here in Oman, obviously I can not eat that burger. Luckily, we have Hungry Bunny – a nearby fast food chain here in Nizwa which offers their version of Swiss and Mushroom combo meal which includes the sandwich itself plus fries and drinks.

Curious about the sandwich, one time I checked what’s inside it and tried to figure out how it is prepared. With the delicious taste that it gives, they may have secret ingredients (most of the restaurants have) which they would not tell in case I ask. So I once again did my own :). This may not be as perfect in presentation or as delicious as that of Wendy’s and Hungry Bunny’s versions, what is important is my satisfaction of doing my own and enjoy eating it.

My version of Beef and Mushroom Sandwich

Ingredients:
- 2 pcs slice bread
- Beef patty
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 pcs sliced fresh mushroom
- 1 tbsp butter
- 5 thin slices of cucumber
- Lettuce
- cheese

Procedure:
- Cook mushroom in butter until soft (do not overcook), set aside
- spread mayonnaise onto the two slices of bread
(use one piece as the base of the sandwich, the other piece as the cover)
- add the cooked mushroom
- top with slices of cucumber
- add the beef patty
- top with lettuce and cheese
- cover with the other slice of bread
- serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- fresh white mushroom is better than the ones in cans
- use butter in cooking the mushroom to provide more delicious taste
- you can also do your own beef patty, better than buying the frozen one
- tomato can be used if desired
