Ingredients
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Step 2
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until they are caramelized and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice. Ensure the butter is evenly distributed to create a golden crust when toasted.
Step 5
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of two of the bread slices, followed by a layer of caramelized onions, one slice of mozzarella cheese, and then another slice of cheddar cheese. Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Step 6
Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Step 7
Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then slice in half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
