Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 F. Wash and dry all produce.

Meanwhile, heat a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @bacon{6%strips}; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy ~{6%minutes}. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

While bacon cooks, thinly slice @button mushrooms{8%oz} (skip if pre-sliced).

Heat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat (if pan seems dry, add a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp}). Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy ~{5%minutes}. Season with @salt{1%tsp} and @black pepper{1%tsp}.

Arrange @sourdough bread{4%slices} on a clean work surface. Evenly layer half the sourdough slices with @gouda cheese{4%oz}, bacon, mushrooms, and @cheddar cheese{4%oz}. Top with remaining sourdough slices to form sandwiches.

Halve sandwiches on a diagonal.
