Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Electric griddle
  • Small bowl
  • Another bowl

Method
 

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