CARAMELIZED ONION, APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE MELTS



Caramelized Onion, Apple and Goat Cheese Melts image

Caramelizing onions can be a lesson in patience, but you need to cook these onions for only half the usual time, just enough to break them down and turn them a light golden brown. Once cooked, they make up the bulk of the filling for these sandwiches. Folding the warm onions into the goat cheese softens the cheese, helping it glide easily over the bread. The cheese helps bind everything together, so nothing slips out while the sandwich is toasting in the pan. You can use apples or pears here; either adds some fresh crunch. Seasoned with woody thyme and zippy kalamata olives, this sandwich makes a hearty lunch, or a light supper paired with soup or salad.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, sandwiches, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed for frying
1 1/2 pounds Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup soft goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives (about 10 olives)
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices sourdough bread
1/2 pound apples or pears, halved, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add the onions and salt and cook, tossing frequently, until the onions turn creamy and golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Add thyme and red-pepper flakes and stir for another 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant. Transfer the onions to a small bowl and stir in the goat cheese and olives.
  • Place 4 slices of bread on the counter and divide the onion mixture among them, spreading to the edges. Top with the apple or pear slices, then the remaining bread, pressing down gently to adhere.
  • Wipe the same skillet down with a paper towel, then add 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil (or more as needed to coat the bottom of the pan) and heat over medium. Working in batches, if needed, add the sandwiches and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, pressing them gently to compress them as they cook, until the bread is toasted and deeply golden brown. If working in batches, add more olive oil as needed and cook remaining sandwiches. Slice and serve.

A classic sandwich -- savory ham and cheese -- gets a lift with the addition of sweet, crunchy Fuji apple slices.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 pound ham, thinly sliced
1 medium Fuji apple, cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread half the bread slices with mustard. Layer with cheddar, ham, apple, and more cheddar, dividing evenly. Top with remaining bread slices. Lightly butter both sides of sandwiches.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook sandwiches, turning once, until bread is golden, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in oven until cheddar is melted, about 5 minutes. Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal, and serve warm.

Tips:
