Author: Simplee Sue

Recipe type: Sandwich

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 4 T Butter
• 4 tsp. butter to butter the bread
• 2 whole medium yellow onions, sliced ¼ of an inch thick
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 T white wine
• 4 slices bread (or any bread on hand)
• 4 slices of swiss cheese

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the onions and stir so they are coated in all the fat. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.
2. Stir and add in the salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir, cover the pan with a lid and let cook. Stir occasionally, until the onions are soft and deep golden in color. Reduce the heat if you notice the onions are browning too soon.
3. Add in the wine, scrape any bits that accumulated on the bottom of the skillet, and then remove them off the heat.
4. On a preheated griddle or large skillet, place a slice of buttered bread (butter-side down) and top it with a slice of cheese. Add half of the onion mixture and then, another slice of cheese. Top with a second slice of buttered bread (butter-side up).
5. Flip when the bottom is crispy and golden; repeat on second side.
6. Cut in half and serve.

Here is the way carmelized onions look in the pan.

I made some changes but if you want to see the original and a good pictural tutorial here.  I used a mild colby cheese, but I would use swiss cheese the next time. I used colby because it’s difficult to get swiss cheese in here, in Honduras. Also, I used white bread, but I think sourdough bread.  I would have to drive 3 hours to a grocery store in the city. This was absolutely, the best French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

YUMILICIOUS!
