There is something so comforting about a grilled cheese sandwich. Honestly… the moment that cheese starts melting, my whole mood changes.
That melted cheese is already sufficient, but I always take my favorite childhood meals and add my own signature to it.
So, ladies and gentlemen… meet my Mushroom Brie Cheese Sandwich – It is oven grilled, so it takes a minimal effort to make and tastes divine.
I made it for my husband yesterday and he said he felt like he got the royal treatment. I will take that compliment. It is that good.

Why Is This Grilled Cheese Sandwich With Brie So Good
First, it is simple, made with just a handful of ingredients you probably have at home. Totally customizable. I keep mine vegetarian, but you can easily turn it into a full meal by adding grilled chicken or deli meat. Pair it with a salad and suddenly you have lunch or dinner. And the cleanup – minimal. One pan for the filling, one baking sheet for the oven. If you are using a cast iron pan – even better. One tool and you are done.
What You’ll Need
Wholewheat bread – I always reach for the wholewheat bread packed with seeds. It is nutritious, tasty, and full of fiber. But listen, if white bread is calling your name, go for it.
Mushrooms – Cremini are my favourite. Great flavor, great texture, and they make the sandwich feel hearty without any meat.
Sun dried tomatoes – They are tiny flavour bombs. I prefer the ones stored in oil so I can use that same oil in the pan. Nothing goes to waste and everything tastes better.
Brie cheese – Soft cheese, that easily melts, it is not too salty and it goes well with the other ingredients.
Garlic – Just because it makes everything taste better.
Rosemary – Fresh is amazing, but dried rosemary works perfectly is that is what you have.
Homemade Caesar dressing – Optional, but I love adding a drizzle here. But if you don’t have it – feel free to skip or use just a regular mayo.
Olive oil – A drizzle for frying, and making everything crispy and golden.

How to Make a Mushroom Brie Cheese Sandwich in the Oven
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them.
- Warm a little olive oil in a pan.

- Chop the sun dried tomatoes and add them to the pan. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 5 more minutes until everything softens and blends together.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Do not overcook, you want everything to remain juicy, not dry.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Take two slices of bread and start building your sandwich.
- Add 2-3 spoonfuls of the mushroom mixture to one slice and spread evenly.
- Add thin slices of brie all over.
- Drizzle Caesar dressing over.
- Finish by topping with the second slice of bread.

Notes
- You can swap the olive oil with butter, if you prefer.
- You can instead grill the sandwich in a pan over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes each side.
What To Serve With Grilled Cheese Sandwich With Brie
My favourite combo is serving with a simple green salad. Pick your favourite mix and dressing or go with my homemade Caesar salad. It is the perfect match.
A warm tomato soup also works amazingly. Classic and delicious.
No matter how you serve it, this sandwich has brunch, lunch or breakfast energy all over it. Simply add grilled chicken or deli meat and it turns into a full, satisfying meal.
