Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 large red onion, finely diced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces sharp Cheddar, thinly sliced, divided
8 slices whole-wheat bread

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually use cheddar cheese, but I've also tried it with mozzarella and it's just as good.

5 stars! This sandwich is amazing! I used a sourdough bread and it was the perfect choice. The honey mustard sauce is also incredible.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. The honey mustard sauce is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not usually a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, but this one is amazing! The sweetness of the honey and the spiciness of the Sriracha complement each other perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

Just made this for dinner and it was SO good! I used pepper jack cheese and it gave it the perfect amount of heat. Will definitely be making this again.

This grilled cheese sandwich is a game-changer! The combination of sweet and spicy is absolutely delicious. I added a little bit of extra Sriracha sauce to mine for an extra kick. ?
