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

  1. 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.
  2. Stir brown sugar into the onions and cook another minute. Transfer the caramelized onions to a plate.
  3. Spread one side of two pieces of bread with a little bit of mayonnaise.
  4. 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.
  5. Add both pieces of bread, mayonnaise side down, and cook until bread is golden brown and crunchy about 2-3 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. When the bread is good and golden brown, sandwich the pieces of bread together and cook on low until cheese is fully melted.
  8. Transfer to a plate, repeat with remaining slices of bread and ingredients.
  9. Slice and enjoy! 😀
