1
Toast the Bread
Begin by toasting the sourdough bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Cheese
Shred the Gruyère and Cheddar cheese into a bowl and mix them together. Set aside.
3
Caramelize the Onions
In a pan over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and sauté the onions until they are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
4
Sauté the Spinach
In the same pan, add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5
Spread the Condiments
Spread Dijon mustard on one slice of toasted sourdough and mayonnaise on the other slice.
6
Layer the Ingredients
On the slice with mustard, layer the caramelized onions, followed by the sautéed spinach, and finally top with the mixed cheeses.

7
Melt the Cheese
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the assembled sandwich on the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
8
Serve
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
