Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 Yellow onion (sliced thinly)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, parsley, thyme, and minced garlic. Mix well to make the herb butter.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and sliced onions. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the honey towards the end of cooking. Set aside.
Step 4
Spread the herb butter evenly on one side of each sourdough slice.
Step 5
Place one slice of bread butter-side-down in a skillet over medium-low heat. Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 6
Add about half of the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese layers.
Step 7
Top with another buttered slice of bread, butter-side-up.
Step 8
Cook slowly for 3-4 minutes on one side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 9
Repeat steps 5-8 for the second sandwich.
Step 10
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
