Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 slices thick-sliced bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices deli ham
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into rings.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Spread one side of each bread slice with a thin layer of unsalted butter.
Step 4
Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, on a clean work surface. Spread an even layer of Dijon mustard on the plain side (non-buttered side) of these slices.
Step 5
Add a slice of Swiss cheese to each slice of mustard-covered bread, followed by two slices of deli ham. Top with some of the grilled onions and then another slice of Swiss cheese.
Step 6
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the fillings, butter-side facing up, to form a sandwich.
Step 7
Heat the same skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and slice each sandwich in half. Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich with Grilled Onions on Toast!
