Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 4 Sourdough bread slices
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and their liquid has evaporated.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the mushroom mixture from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice using the remaining butter, spreading evenly.

Step 5

Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

Step 6

Place two slices of bread, buttered-side down, in the skillet. Evenly distribute half of the grated Gruyère and cheddar cheese on top of each slice.

Step 7

Add the cooked mushroom mixture on top of the cheese, then layer the remaining cheese over the mushrooms.

Step 8

Top with the second slice of bread, buttered-side up, to complete the sandwiches.

Step 9

Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
