Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese

An elevated classic that will be a favorite with kids and adults alike.

SERVES 1

• 2 slices bread (like sourdough)
• garlic butter, for smearing
• 1 slice each Havarti, light cheddar, and baby Gouda cheese (see note)
• 1 small chopped onion caramelized in 2 Tbsp olive oil (or 2 cubes frozen caramelized onions, defrosted)
• salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat your sandwich, panini, or pizza maker.

Place a piece of parchment paper over the bottom half of the machine, and lay the slices of bread side by side. Smear each slice of bread with garlic butter.

Place a slice of cheese on one slice of bread. Spread half the onion (or one of the cubes) over the cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the second slice of cheese over the onions. Spread the remaining onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the third slice of cheese. Cover with the second slice of bread (butter side over the cheese).
