Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices (preferably sourdough or thick-cut white bread)
- 6 pieces Bacon strips
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 piece Yellow onion (medium-sized, thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the sliced onions with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices, buttered side down, on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each bread slice on the baking sheet.
Evenly distribute the caramelized onions onto the mayonnaise-covered bread slices. Lay 3 bacon strips on top of each, followed by 2 slices of cheese per bread slice.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up, to form two sandwiches.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is melted. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven, let them cool slightly, and cut them in half for serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
