Mushrooms
Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
Add the mushrooms, tomatoes and scallions. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, cook two more minutes.
Add parsley. Cook two additional minutes, then pull the mushroom mix from the heat.
Meanwhile, cut the browned tops off of each of the hawaiian buns before slicing them in half and buttering one side of each slice.
Heat a separate large skillet over a medium to high flame. Add eight of the cut buns butter side down and layer an ounce of the shredded cheese.
Add 1/4 cup of the mushroom mixture to each and top with the other 8 buns, butter side up.
Once the bottom of the sandwiches are golden brown, carefully flip them and brown the other side. Serve immediately.
