   • In a large non-stick saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
   • Add chopped mushrooms and onions to the pan, and cook until tender and fragrant.
   • Stir in the shrimp, scallops, white wine, and dried thyme leaves, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
   • Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.
   • Drain the mixture, reserving 1 cup of the flavorful broth, and set the seafood aside.

2. Prepare Cheese Sauce:

   • In the same saucepan, melt 2 more tablespoons of butter.
   • Remove the pan from the heat and gradually blend in the flour, ensuring no lumps form.
   • Gradually stir in the reserved seafood broth and milk, stirring constantly over medium-high heat until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
   • Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded Canadian old cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

3. Combine and Bake:

   • Fold the cooked seafood mixture into the cheese sauce until well combined.
   • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Pour the creamy seafood mixture into an oven-proof casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
   • Arrange the sliced sourdough over the top of the mixture, creating a rustic layer.
   • Sprinkle the remaining shredded Canadian old cheddar cheese over the top of the sourdough slices, ensuring an even distribution.
   • Place the casserole dish under the broiler in the oven, positioning it about 6 inches from the heat source.
   • Broil the Seafood au Gratin until the sourdough is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling, approximately 10 minutes.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the Seafood au Gratin hot, straight from the oven, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor. This delectable dish pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette or steamed vegetables for a complete meal experience.
