Ingredients

1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard

1 Garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Dash hot pepper sauce

Pinch dried oregano

Pinch dried tarragon

Salt & freshly ground pepper

3 ounces Olive oil

1 1/2 pounds Mushrooms sliced

1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons (¼ stick) butter

2 tablespoons All purpose flour

3/4 cup Milk

1/2 cup Chicken broth

2 tablespoons Dry sherry

2 teaspoons Prepared mustard

1 teaspoon Curry powder or to taste

Salt & freshly ground pepper

6 slc seedless Russian rye bread (I use pumpernickel).

3 cups Shredded Swiss cheese

Preparation

For marinade: Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl; blend well.

Whisk in olive oil. Add mushrooms and onion and toss lightly to coat.

Set aside.

For sauce: Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and blend well. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 minutes. Blend in milk, broth, sherry, mustard, and curry powder. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

To assemble: Preheat over to 350' F. Arrange bread on baking sheet.

Divide mushrooms evenly among slices, mounding slightly in center. Top each with about 3 t of sauce and sprinkle with 1/2 C cheese. Bake until sandwiches are heated through, about 20 minutes.

Di Note: I served this one New Year's Day to a bunch of raving football fanatics and they actually took time to comment (between grunts) and ask for more. Amazing.
