Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh chives
- 1 cup (grated) Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup (grated) Gruyère cheese
- 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons (softened) Butter (for spreading)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the grated cheddar cheese, Gruyère cheese, and chopped chives. Stir to combine evenly.
Spread softened butter thinly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. These will be the outer sides of your jaffles.
Heat the jaffle maker or a stovetop sandwich press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Take two slices of bread and, on the unbuttered side, spread an even amount of the cheese and chive mixture. Add a layer of caramelized onions on top.
Place the other bread slices, buttered side out, over the filling to form two full sandwiches.
Transfer the sandwiches to the jaffle maker or sandwich press and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the toasties are golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the jaffles, let them cool for a minute, then slice them in halves or quarters if desired. Serve warm.
