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)
8 ounces Gruyere, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water, scrapping up any dark bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the onions to a bowl and reserve.
  • Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Lay 6 slices butter-side down on a work surface. Top each with 2 slices of Gruyere, a dollop of the onions and 2 more slices of Gruyere. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
  • 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.

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the caramelized onions:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, halved and very thinly sliced
3 thyme sprigs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the fig chutney:
1 1/2 cups chopped dried black mission figs
2 (3-inch) strips orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
3 thyme sprigs
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the sandwich:
8 ounces Halloumi cheese, sliced lengthwise into 4 (3/8-inch-thick) slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • Make the caramelized onions:
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add 3 thyme sprigs, and continue to cook and stir until onions are completely soft and light brown in color, 30 to 40 minutes more. Remove from heat and discard thyme sprigs. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Make the fig chutney:
  • In a medium pot over medium heat, cook the figs, orange zest and juice, vinegar, honey, 3 thyme sprigs, and 1/2 cup water. Stir occasionally until thickened and starting to break down, 12 to 15 minutes. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary to achieve a jammy consistency. Discard the orange zest and thyme sprigs, stir in the hazelnuts, and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Assemble the sandwich:
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Brush the slices of Halloumi on one side with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the oiled side on the grill and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Place one slice Halloumi, grilled side down, on a plate and layer 1/4 cup arugula, 2 tablespoons caramelized onions, and 2 tablespoons fig chutney on top. Top with another slice of Halloumi, grilled side up, to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining Halloumi to make a second sandwich.
  • The leftover caramelized onions and fig chutney can be refrigerated for up to a week.
