Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 4 slices Muenster cheese
• 12 thin slices deli ham
• 1 loaf ciabatta bread, vertically cut into 4 equal pieces
• ¼ large white onion, thinly sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) package sweet pea shoots, chopped into 2-inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Slice each of the 4 pieces of ciabatta bread horizontally in half.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat; add oil. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil over low heat until onion begins to soften and lightly brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until tender and browned, 5 to 10 minutes more. Add pea shoots and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

Step 3

Open the ciabatta pieces, creating 4 sandwiches. Evenly distribute the pea shoot mixture among the bottom pieces of each sandwich; add 1 slice Muenster cheese and 3 slices deli ham. Replace the top pieces of ciabatta to make a sandwich.
