Ham on Ciabatta with Caramelized Mushrooms and Sweet Pea Shoots image

I came up with this sandwich one day while trying to figure out what to do with some random produce. It is my new favorite sandwich! BONUS STEP: Grill each sandwich in a hot sandwich press or toast sandwiches in the oven.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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

Steps:

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