- Cook until onions soften, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a roasting dish.
- In the same skillet, add 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
- Cook over medium heat until tomatoes soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the roasting dish with the onions.

- Add the mushrooms to the roasting dish with the onions and tomatoes.
- Pour 1/4 cup dry white wine over the mixture.
- Place the roasting dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has reduced.
- Remove from oven and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add 2 sprigs fresh thyme.
- Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat and discard the thyme.
- Brush one side of each slice of bread (4 slices total) with the thyme-infused butter.
- Place the buttered slices bread, butter-side down, on a clean surface.
- Top half of the slices with 1/4 cup (approximately 30g) shredded provolone cheese and 1/4 cup (approximately 30g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Evenly divide the cooled mushroom mixture among the cheese-topped bread slices.
- Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the sandwiches on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
