Grilled Cheese with Gouda, Roasted Mushrooms, Delight

Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 4 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded
• 1 cup cremini or portobello mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• to taste salt
• to taste pepper
• optional fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms are golden, and the onions are soft. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Lay out two slices of sourdough bread. On each slice, layer half of the shredded Gouda cheese. Next, distribute the roasted mushrooms and onions evenly over the cheese, then top with the remaining Gouda. Place the other two slices of bread on top to form two sandwiches.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula after flipping to ensure even grilling.
4. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally.
5. If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for an aromatic finish. Serve warm.
