Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Spread a thin layer of this mixture on one side of 4 slices of sourdough bread.
Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and 1 ounce of shredded Gruyère on top of the Dijon-spread bread slices.
Add 2 slices of cooked bacon and a small handful of baby spinach on top of the cheese layers for each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with a second slice of bread to form a complete sandwich. Lightly press down on each sandwich to help the layers hold together.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each bread slice (both top and bottom). This will help create a golden, crispy exterior.
Add the olive oil to the heated skillet to prevent the butter from burning. Place the sandwiches into the skillet in batches, if necessary.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half. Serve hot and enjoy your Cheese Sandwiches Mountain Fashion!
