A crispy grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with cheddar cheese and herby caramelized onions sweetened with balsamic vinegar, grilled to perfection.
Serving Size 2
Equipment
- 1 frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion sliced
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices bread
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until transparent and slightly browned on the edges.
- Cook the onions without stirring for 2-3 minutes, until the onions brown to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with a splash of water, and stir, scraping up the browned bits. Repeat for about 8 minutes, until the onions are a deep caramelized brown colour.
- Remove the onions from the pan, and continue to heat the pan over medium-low heat.
- With the remaining butter, butter the slices of bread. Place two pieces, buttered sides down, on a cutting board and divide the onions between them. Add the shredded cheese. Top with the last two slices of bread, buttered sides facing up.
- Transfer one of the sandwiches to the hot pan, frying for 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy and golden, and the cheese is melty inside. Repeat with the second sandwich.
