Servings 4 people

Ingredients

The Sandwich

  • 1 pound Cudighi Sausage
  • 4 slices Italian Bread cut 1/3 inch thick
  • Pam for spraying the bread
  • 4 slices Provolone Cheese

Morel Mushrooms

  • 1/2 pound Morel Mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Shallot chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Red Wine
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 tablespoon Chicken Stock

Mustard Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 3 tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • White Pepper pinch

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients for the whole grain mustard sauce and set to the side.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add the shallots and garlic and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Deglaze with the wine, scrapping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the butter and chicken stock. Stir to create a buttery mushroom sauce. Keep on very low heat while you create the sandwiches.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat. Form the Cudighi Sausage into 4 patties, shaped like the bread slices. Sauté the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until the sausage is cooked through. Remove from pan and set to the side.
  • Spray each side of the bread with Pam Cooking Spray. In the same pan, toast each side of the bread (about 2 minutes per side).
  • On a baking sheet, place the toasted bread. Add a layer of mustard sauce to each slice of bread. Top with the provolone cheese.
  • Place in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Top with the morel mushrooms and serve with extra mustard sauce on the side.
