Recipes:
French Onion Grilled Cheese
Makes 1 Serving | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
2 slices Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread
1 tablespoon butter divided
½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 slices Swiss cheese
Directions:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt ½ tablespoon butter with oil. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown in color (approximately 20-30 minutes).
Butter both bread slices and place butter side down in a hot skillet or griddle. Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each slice of bread. As the cheese begins to melt, place the caramelized onions on one slice and place the remaining slice on top.
Once the cheese is melted, remove from pan and enjoy.
