Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (thick slices)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 small Onion (finely sliced)
- 20 grams Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and set the rack to the middle position.
In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely sliced onion and sauté for 6-8 minutes until soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Add a pinch of salt and the thyme leaves (if using) for extra flavor.
While the onions are cooking, lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or under a grill until just golden.
Once toasted, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Evenly distribute the caramelized onions across the buttered side of the toast.
Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese on top of the onions, spreading it to cover the surface evenly.
Place the prepared slices of toast on a baking tray and transfer to the oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Remove the toast from the oven and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately while warm and melty. Enjoy!
