Description
A delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, featuring sweet caramelized onions and gooey melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking until they are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, place one slice of bread, buttered side down, and add half of the cheese on top.
- Add the caramelized onions over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese and the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Use a mix of cheeses for a more complex taste.
- Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic pairing.
