Preheat your panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with olive oil.
On the unbrushed side of two bread slices, layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and 2 slices of gruyere cheese.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the cheese layers and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh rosemary.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, making sure the olive oil-brushed side is facing outward.
Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the panini press or skillet.
Place the sandwiches in the press or skillet, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the press or skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
Slice the paninis in half and serve immediately while hot.
