Ingredients
  

4 slices of 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

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh thyme leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Roast the Mushrooms and Onions: 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.

    Assemble the Grilled Cheese: 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.

      Grill the Sandwiches: 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.

        Final Touches: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally.

          Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for an aromatic finish. Serve warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a simple salad.
