Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
For the Spread and Cheese Mixes
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons finely shredded Manchego or Parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced

Equipment

  • Large skillet or electric griddle
  • Small bowl
  • Another bowl

Method
 

  1. Spread 3 tablespoons butter on one side of all bread slices.
  2. Toast the bread, butter side down, in a large skillet or electric griddle over medium-low heat until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bread from the skillet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Manchego or Parmesan cheese, onion powder, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.
  4. In another bowl, combine the cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gruyere cheeses.
  5. To assemble the sandwiches, place the sliced Brie on the toasted side of 4 bread slices. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese mixture evenly over the Brie.
  6. Top with the remaining 4 bread slices, ensuring the toasted sides face inward.
  7. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the outsides of each assembled sandwich.
  8. Place the sandwiches in the same skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
