FRENCH ONION GRILLED CHEESE

Grilled cheese is a near-perfect food on its own, but adding bacon, kimchi or, in this case, heaps of caramelized onions really makes it special. Caramelizing onions takes a good half-hour, so save this recipe for when you have a little extra time and company (this recipe serves two). If time permits, you could even prep them ahead in a slow cooker. Rather than layer the grated Gruyère and the warm caramelized onions in the sandwich, you should stir them together before assembling, which guarantees that the cheese will melt evenly throughout and that each bite will contain the perfect ratio of fragrant cheese to jammy onions. A splash of sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar added to the onions balances out the buttery flavors, but a side salad dressed with a tangy mustard vinaigrette would do the trick, too.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound yellow or Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar (optional)
4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
4 slices bread, cut no wider than 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If the onions look dry or like they might burn, add a few tablespoons of water at a time, scraping up any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. If desired, once the onions are done, deglaze the skillet with vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet, or wash it, if necessary.
  • Add the cheese to the onions and stir to combine. Put down two slices of bread, and scoop half of the cheese-onion mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining slices of bread, and press down gently.
  • In the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, reducing the heat to prevent toast from darkening too quickly, if needed. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, flip the sandwiches, press down and cook until the cheese has fully melted and the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

We love these messy sandwiches. I like to make the caramelized onions ahead of time and then these go together quickly. These make great sandwiches for Super Bowl Sunday. From Bon Appetit.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices seeded rye bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup onion jam or chutney
6 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Arrange bread in a single layer on a clean work surface. Stir together butter and mayonnaise. Spread mixture evenly onto one side of every slice (1 scant tablespoon per slice).
  • Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Flip over bread on work surface (so it's plain-side up). Spread Dijon evenly onto 4 slices. Spread onion jam onto remaining 4 slices and top evenly with cheese. Carefully sandwich together.
  • Place sandwiches in skillet (in two batches, if needed). Reduce heat to medium-low; gently top sandwiches with a lid slightly smaller than skillet for even cooking. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides and cheese is melted, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality sausages: Look for sausages made with fresh, flavorful meat and avoid those that contain fillers or preservatives.
  • Slice the sausages diagonally: This will help them cook evenly and create more surface area for caramelization.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently: This process can take 20-30 minutes, but it's worth it for the sweet, rich flavor the onions will develop.
  • Use a good quality Gruyère cheese: This cheese melts beautifully and has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the caramelized onions and sausage.
  • Toast the bread: This will help it hold up to the juicy sausage and onions and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Serve the sandwiches hot and fresh: These sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately after they are made.

Conclusion:

Grilled sausage sandwiches with caramelized onions and Gruyère cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a casual get-together or a weeknight dinner. The combination of savory sausage, sweet onions, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make these sandwiches at home that are just as good as, if not better than, the ones you get from a restaurant. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy this classic sandwich!
