GRILLED GRUYERE SANDWICH WITH ONION JAM



Grilled Gruyere Sandwich with Onion Jam image

Nutty gruyere is complemented by piquant Dijon mustard and sweet onion jam in this elevated grilled cheese.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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:

  • When selecting onions, choose ones that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • To ensure even cooking, slice the onions thinly and evenly.
  • For a more intense flavor, caramelize the onions before grilling.
  • Use a high-quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is a good option as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the sandwich.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the onions and sandwich in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as potato chips, coleslaw, or french fries.

Conclusion:

The grilled sweet onion and butter sandwich is a simple yet delicious sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sandwich that is packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful sandwich, give the grilled sweet onion and butter sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed!
