Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 slices good quality bread
- Mayonnaise for spreading
- Gruyere cheese sliced thinly OR grated 12 oz at room temperature
- White cheddar cheese sliced thinly OR grated 6 oz at room temperature
- 4 slices thin Muenster cheese at room temperature
- 2 yellow onions diced
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary minced divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Heat butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add diced onions, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and 1 sprig of fresh rosemary to the hot skillet and saute, stirring often, until onions are soft and starting to brown.
-
Stir brown sugar into the onions and cook another minute. Transfer the caramelized onions to a plate.
-
Spread one side of two pieces of bread with a little bit of mayonnaise.
-
To the same skillet, add remaining butter and rosemary, and heat over medium heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet with the melted butter.
-
Add both pieces of bread, mayonnaise side down, and cook until bread is golden brown and crunchy about 2-3 minutes.
-
As soon as you flip the bread to toast on the other side, add a bit of cheese to the top of each piece of bread. Once it starts to melt a little, sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the caramelized onions over the top of one of the pieces of bread.
-
When the bread is good and golden brown, sandwich the pieces of bread together and cook on low until cheese is fully melted.
-
Transfer to a plate, repeat with remaining slices of bread and ingredients.

Slice and enjoy! 😀
