Sloppy Josephine Sliders (Vegetarian) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
2 cups sliced white mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons cognac
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
8 soft slider buns, potato recommended

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a wide, heavy skillet. Add the onions, 1/8 tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, over medium-heigh heat, until onions are browned and sticky/crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Meanwhile, in a second wide, heavy skillet, melt butter. Add all the mushrooms, garlic, 1/8 tsp salt and a few grinds pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are richly browned, about 15 minutes.
Increase heat to high, pour in cognac and cook until liquid disappears, 1 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Split buns; lay them open-faced on a broiler rack. Cover both halves with cheese. Slide under the broiler just until cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Set buns on serving platter.
Heap mushrooms onto each bottom bun. Top with onions. Cover with top bun. Enjoy.
