The onion sandwich is a classic dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple sandwich to make, but it can be incredibly delicious when made with the right ingredients. The key to a great onion sandwich is to use fresh, high-quality onions. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, are a popular choice, but you can also use yellow or white onions. The onions should be thinly sliced and caramelized, which will bring out their natural sweetness. Another important ingredient is a good quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or rye, will hold up well to the caramelized onions and cheese. The cheese should be a sharp cheddar or Gruyère, which will melt and provide a gooey texture. With these ingredients, you can create a delicious onion sandwich that will be sure to please everyone.

GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH WITH RED ONION JAM
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the sugar, red wine vinegar and 3 tablespoons water and cook until the liquid is reduced completely and the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Butter the outside of each slice of bread and arrange, butter side down, on a sheet pan. Put 1 piece of Taleggio onto a slice of the buttered bread, then a piece of Gorgonzola. Top with a heaping tablespoon of the onion jam, and another slice of the Taleggio. Cover it another slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Put the sandwiches into the skillet and cook until the bread is toasted and golden and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side. Slice each sandwich in half and serve.
ONION SANDWICH
James Beard took this recipe from his colleagues Irma and Bill Rhode over 60 years ago, but there's something delicate, fresh and unfussy about the sandwich even now. There isn't much to it, so each component really matters: Slice the onions thinly and evenly, season well, and be gentle so you don't squish the bread as you press each sandwich shut. Rolling the edge of the sandwich in chopped parsley (or a mix of parsley and other fresh herbs), gives it a retro styling touch, but it's crucial for flavor, too.

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.
STEAK SANDWICH WITH ONION RINGS AND CHEESE SAUCE
Steps:
- For the steak: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak on both sides with the garlic powder and salt. Place on the grill pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes; flip and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and set aside to rest. Slice the steak on the bias.
- For the onion rings: Fit a heavy-bottomed pot with a deep-frying thermometer and fill with 2 to 3 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, prepare one bowl with buttermilk and a second with flour, salt and cayenne. In batches, place the cut onion rings into the buttermilk and then into the flour; repeat one more time. Carefully place the dipped rings into the preheated oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Once golden on one side, flip to the other side and fry until golden brown all around. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
- For the mustard cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the flour and whisk together completely to make a roux. Whisking continuously, gradually add the cold milk until completely combined and the sauce starts to thicken into a bechamel. Add the fontina, Tabasco and Dijon and whole-grain mustards. Season to taste, then remove from the heat.
- To assemble the sandwich: Smear the cheese sauce on each side of the bread, top with sliced fontina, banana peppers, steak and arugula. Serve the onion rings on the side.

PULLED PORK SANDWICH WITH BLACK PEPPER VINEGAR SAUCE AND GREEN ONION SLAW
Steps:
- For the Dry Rub: Add all the dry rub ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
- For the pork shoulder: Place the pork, fat side up, on a clean baking sheet. Season the pork on all sides with salt and pepper then rub the dry rub all over the pork, pressing into the meat. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for 7 hours.
- Black Pepper Vinegar Sauce: Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until emulsified. Add water if the sauce is too thick.
- Green Onion Slaw: Place the green onions, vinegar, chiles, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and oil into a blender and blend until emulsified. Place the cabbage and red onions in a bowl, add the dressing and stir until combined. Fold in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the pork shoulder: Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. Following manufacturer's instructions and using lump charcoal and 1/2 cup drained wood chips for a smoker, or 1 cup for a barbecue, start fire and bring temperature of smoker or barbecue to 225 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Place the pork on the rack in smoker or barbecue. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reaches 165 degrees F. Turn pork every 45 minutes, about 6 hours total. If using the smoker, after 2 hours place the pork into the smoker pan and fill halfway with chicken stock. (This is to prevent the shoulder from drying out.) Add more charcoal, as needed, to maintain 225 degrees F to 250 degrees F and more wood drained wood chips (1/2 cup for the smoker or 1 cup for the barbecue with each addition) to maintain smoke level. Transfer pork to a clean rimmed baking sheet. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Shred into bite-size pieces. Mound on platter and toss with most of the Black Pepper Vinegar Sauce, reserving the rest for drizzling the bun. Pour any juice from the baking sheet over the pork.
- For assembly: Drizzle the sauce on the top and bottom of the bun. Top the bottom bun with the meat, another drizzle of sauce, Green Onion Slaw and finish with the top of the bun.

NEW YORKER ONION SANDWICH
This is from Graham Kerr, the man who said, "If you are out of salted nuts, the best appetiser is champagne!" This is from Volume 1 of his CBC Television Cookbooks. I also have Volume 3 and it was published in 1969, so this recipe is some kind of late 1960s cocktail party creation. Graham's recipe notes include: "At heart this is a dish that everyone enjoys except those with ulcers and those who have a romantic meeting with someone who isn't at the party." and, "Vodka based creations blend well." I use party rye-sized pumpernickel bread for the "brown bread rounds" he writes of; also, this recipe is for 2 people only so increase if you're serving a crowd (makes a great summer party treat) but don't make them too far ahead.

This recipe is my nephew's girlfriend's creation. I love onions and who doesn't love cheese? The combination is very tasty in my opinion. Only use red onions.

MUSHROOM, ONION, AND SPINACH SANDWICH
We love this recipe. It's fast, easy, tastes good, and is healthy. I found it on one of my favorite blogs, CuisineNie (aka nieniedialogues.blogspot.com), but, since CuisineNie is now closed, I thought I'd put this recipe back out there. The amounts of onion, mushrooms, garlic, spinach, vinegar, and cheese are all approximate and should be altered according to your tastes. The recipe is pretty flexible; you can use different types of mustard, cheese, etc.. We like this served with canned Progresso lentil soup.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and the butter in a non stick frying pan over low heat and add the onion and thyme and cook for 10 minutes or until onion is softened and then add the sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook for a further 8-10 minutes till caramilsed.
- Heat the remaining oil in a non stick frying pan and cook the steaks for 1-2 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking (better I think to do a little under as it will go under the grill/broiler for a minute or two).
- Spread half a tablespoon of the horseradish cream over each baguette half and top with the steak and cheese.
- Place under a preheated hot grill/broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
- Top with caramelised onion and rocket, halve each half baquette to serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right kind of onion: Yellow or white onions are the best choice for onion sandwiches. They have a sharp flavor that holds up well when cooked.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Cook the onions slowly: Low and slow is the best way to caramelize onions. This will bring out their natural sweetness and make them extra delicious.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will really elevate the flavor of your onion sandwich.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make an onion sandwich. Try adding different ingredients, such as bacon, mushrooms, or tomatoes, to find your perfect combination.
Conclusion:
The onion sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's simple, delicious, and filling. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a sandwich that will satisfy your hunger and taste buds. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the onion sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
