Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough bread

4 ounces Gouda cheese, sliced

1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

    Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onion is caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Preheat a separate skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

        Place two slices of bread, butter side down, on the heated skillet. Layer half of the Gouda cheese on each slice.

          Divide the mushroom and onion mixture evenly over the cheese, then top with the remaining slices of Gouda.

            Close the sandwiches with the other two slices of sourdough bread, butter side up.

              Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

                Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve hot.
