Description

A delicious sandwich featuring sweet caramelized onions and rich Gruyère cheese, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced onions, salt, and sugar; cook until onions are caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Preheat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches by placing caramelized onions and Gruyère cheese between two slices of bread.
  5. Grill the sandwiches in the preheated skillet until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from heat, slice, and serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the onions while caramelizing.
  • Use sourdough or whole grain bread for a different texture.
