- Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Fresh garlic, minced
- Fresh mushrooms (shiitake or cremini), chopped
- Butter or olive oil for frying

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Sauté minced garlic and chopped mushrooms in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil or butter until golden brown. Add herbs and set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer with cheddar, mozzarella, and the mushroom mixture. Top with another slice of cheese and cover with the second slice of bread.
- Grill to Perfection: In a skillet, melt butter or oil over medium-low heat. Grill the sandwich on one side until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes), then flip and repeat.
- Create the Jack O Lantern Shape: Carve playful faces into the top slice of the sandwich.
- Serve Warm: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with tomato soup or a simple salad.
