    Great Mushroom Cleaning Tip

    Did you know that mushrooms are super porous, and if you rinse or soak them, they absorb a lot of water? The resulting water-logged mushrooms won't brown well, which is the key to delicious mushrooms.

    So how do you clean mushrooms? I attended an event with Viva Vantage recently and learned lots of creative ideas for using their paper towels. As a mushroom lover though, my favorite idea was a simple mushroom cleaning tip!

    Instead of rinsing your mushrooms, clean them with a damp paper towel. Simply wet the paper towel, ring it out, and wipe the mushroom clean. Smart, right?

    With their great scrubbing power, Viva Vantage towels are perfect for this. Plus, they're strong enough to be rinsed and reused when they get dirty.

    Great tip: don't rinse mushroom under water ... they'll get soggy! Instead, wipe them with a damp Viva® Vantage® towel! | Hello Little Home #7DaySwitchUp

    How to Make a Mushroom Ricotta Open-Faced Sandwich

    This Mushroom Ricotta Open-Faced Sandwich is really easy to make.

    You'll start by sauteing onions, and then adding the star of this sandwich: lots of mushrooms. Feel free to use your favorite mushrooms for this mushroom sandwich: white, brown, portabella, wild ... they all work.

    Take your time and cook the mushrooms until they are golden and delicious. When the mushrooms reach that perfect, lightly browned point, you'll finish them with fresh garlic. It adds so much flavor!

    The other key component to this Mushroom Sandwich Melt is the ricotta filling. And it's so easy to prepare!

    To make it, mix together ricotta and fresh chives (which help brighten the flavor), then season to taste with salt and pepper.

    So simple, right?

    Assembling the Open-Faced Sandwiches

    Now that your main components are ready, it's time to assemble your hot vegetarian open-faced sandwiches.

    Make sure to choose a really good quality bread ... it will make all the difference in the finished sandwiches. You want something with a nice chewy texture.

    You'll top the bread with a generous spread of creamy ricotta cheese, a layer of garlicky mushrooms, and finally a sprinkle of Gruyere cheese (one of my fave cheeses!).

    Bake those babies until the toppings are hot and ooey-gooey, and the bread is toasted and crunchy. Yum!
