Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings (1 1/2 sandwiches per person)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons canola oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large onions, sliced
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
12 slices rustic Italian bread (each about 1/2-inch thick)

  • Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted through, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut in half and serve immediately.

GRILLED CHEESE AND ONION PITA



GRILLED CHEESE AND ONION PITA image

Categories     Sandwich     Cheese     Fry     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 4

small yellow onion
block cheese of your choice (I used English Cheddar)
Butter
Onion Pita

Steps:

  • Preheat a frying pan on medium to medium high heat. Thinly slice onion (I used about 3 slices for my sandwich) and thickly slice cheese (I used about 5 slices but use your discretion). Place one layer of cheese slices side by side in the pita and then layer onion slices evenly over the top of the cheese. Butter the outside of your pita bread and place in heated frying pan. Cook for approx 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese inside is melted. This is a delicious version of a classic grilled cheese and would be even more perfect with a bowl of tomato soup. That's what I call soul food!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the grilled cheese and onion pita will be. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and high-quality cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. There are many different types of cheese that can be used in a grilled cheese and onion pita, so don't be afraid to try something new. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and Swiss.
  • Cook the pita bread until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help to ensure that the pita bread is cooked through and that the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the grilled cheese and onion pita immediately. This is when it will be at its best. You can serve it with a side of soup or salad.

Conclusion:

The grilled cheese and onion pita is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover pita bread. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, the grilled cheese and onion pita is sure to be a hit with everyone in the family.
