Description
Indulge in the sweet and savory delight of caramelized onion and apple grilled cheese, where gooey cheddar meets the rich flavors of caramelized onions and crisp apples between perfectly toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 small tart apple, thinly sliced (like Granny Smith)
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather your sliced bread, caramelized onions, apple slices, and cheese.
- 2. Heat Your Pan: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until bubbly but not browned.
- 3. Assemble Your Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer half of the cheddar cheese, followed by caramelized onions and apple slices. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese before placing the second slice of bread on top.
- 4. Grill It Up: Place the sandwich in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes), then flip carefully using a spatula.
- 5. Melt Away: Cook the other side until it reaches a perfect golden color and the cheese begins to ooze out (another 3-4 minutes).
- 6. Serve It Right: Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm with a side salad or tomato soup for dipping.
