Yum…button mushrooms sautéed with butter and thyme. Or grilled chicken breast is an easy substitute in this recipe.

Directions

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until browned and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, thyme and pepper.
• Spread each slice of bread with about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Top 4 of the slices with steak, onion and arugula, dividing evenly. Cover with the remaining bread slices.
