Steps:
- Over a medium-high flame, heat the oil and add the onions. Cook them slowly (make sure the heat is high enough that they don't steam) and allow them to gently caramelize, about 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and the butter at the end to season.
- Assemble the sandwich. On a slice of rye, layer cheese, onions, and a second layer of cheese. Cover with the second slice of rye. Place on a panini grill and press. Sandwich is ready when the cheese has melted.

GRILLED FRENCH ONION SOUP OR NOT
This tastes just like French Onion Soup from the grill. MMM. I am not an onion person but I love/devour this as does everyone who tries it. Super simple. We adjust the spices from italian to grilling seasonings to Old Bay. We also add cayenne as we like a touch of heat. Cheese can be varied as well. This can also be used to top your meat, we have topped beef, chicken, pork, burgers...

Steps:
- Trim and peel onion leaving a small amount on the root end.
- Core the center then slice almost all the way thru (looks like a bloomin onion from outback steakhouse).
- Place 1 tsp butter and 1 boullion in hollow core.
- Place in sheet of heavy duty foil and form bowl with the onion.
- Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce, wine and spices. Use more or less to your tastes.
- Close up foil and place on medium heat grill for about 1 hour.
- Remove from grill.
- Open carefully and add cheese and croutons.
- Note #1: You can add water/broth to make this more soup-like.
- Note #2: I use a beef base or low sodium boullion as this can get salty with the boullion, croutons and the cheese.

Tips:
- Use a variety of onions: Using a mix of yellow, white, and red onions will give your soup a more complex flavor.
- Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently: This is the key step in making a great French onion soup. Take your time and let the onions cook until they are deeply browned and caramelized.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.
- Add a splash of white wine: White wine adds a nice acidity and depth of flavor to the soup.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Gruyère and Swiss cheeses are the classic choices for French onion soup, but you can also experiment with other cheeses, such as Parmesan or cheddar.
- Serve the soup piping hot: French onion soup is best served hot and bubbly, so make sure to heat it through before serving.
- Garnish the soup with croutons and grated cheese: Croutons and grated cheese are the classic garnishes for French onion soup. They add a nice crunch and flavor to the soup.
