Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 0.5 medium yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moons.
Step 2
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
Step 4
Butter the other side of each slice of bread evenly with 1 tablespoon of butter per slice.
Step 5
Place one slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down, onto a heated skillet over medium-low heat. Arrange the cheddar cheese on top of the bread, ensuring even coverage.
Step 6
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese.
Step 7
Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up.
Step 8
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve immediately and enjoy your Super Snazzy Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
