Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Slice them thinly and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley if using for garnish.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with a teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and softened.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Preheat a grill pan or sandwich press. Drizzle each slice of sourdough bread with a small amount of olive oil.
Place half of the sautéed mushrooms on two slices of the bread. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the mushrooms and top with the other bread slices to form sandwiches.
Grill the sandwiches in the preheated grill pan or sandwich press for 3-4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
Remove the toasties from the heat and cut them in half for serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
