Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (sliced)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into rings.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise evenly on each.
Layer 2 slices of ham, some grilled onions, and 2 slices of cheddar cheese on the mustard and mayo-coated side of each bread slice.
Place the remaining two bread slices on top, buttered side facing out, to form sandwiches.
Heat the same skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, and then cut in half for serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory Ham and Grilled Onion Sandwiches!
