Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sausages (e.g., bratwurst or Italian sausage)
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 4 pieces crusty sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
2. Slice the onions into thin rings.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine.
4. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until they become golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. While the onions are cooking, grill the sausages on the preheated grill. Turn them every 3-4 minutes, cooking for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked and nicely charred.
6. Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly butter the cut sides.
7. Place the rolls, buttered side down, on the grill for 1-2 minutes to toast them lightly. Remove from the grill.
8. Place a grilled sausage on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a generous layer of caramelized onions and a handful of shredded Gruyere cheese.
9. Optional: Place the assembled sandwiches back on the grill for 1-2 minutes, covered, to melt the cheese.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Grilled Sausage Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions and Gruyere Cheese!
