1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

PREPARATION STEPS
In a large cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat
Add the sliced portobello mushrooms in a single layer and sauté until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Remove mushrooms and wipe the skillet clean.
Spread 3 tablespoons of softened butter on one side of each sourdough slice
Place the bread slices, buttered side down, into the skillet over medium-low heat
Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then remove
In a small bowl, mix together the sharp white cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gruyere cheeses
In another bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, mayonnaise, grated Manchego cheese, and onion powder.
To build your sandwich, start by layering the sautéed mushrooms on the toasted side of 4 bread slices
Sprinkle with freshly chopped thyme, then layer with sliced Brie cheese
Evenly distribute the shredded cheese mixture over the Brie
Top with the remaining bread slices, keeping the toasted sides facing inward
Spread the butter-mayo blend on the outer sides of each sandwich.
Return the sandwiches to the same skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted, approximately 5-6 minutes per side
