French Onion Grilled Cheese

Makes 2 Sandwiches

Ingredients:

2 x Large Brown Onions (thinly sliced)

Method

Caramelise onions: 

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Cook 30–40 min until deep golden brown. Add wine and thyme, cook until evaporated. Stir in beef broth and reduce until jammy. Set aside.

Assemble sandwich: 

Butter one side of each slice of bread. On unbuttered side, layer Gruyère, caramelised onions, and cheddar cheese. Top with second slice.

Serve: 

Slice and enjoy. Optional: serve with small side of beef broth or French onion soup as dip.
