Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add olive oil to prevent burning.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of spicy brown mustard on one side of each rye bread slice.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each of the mustard-covered bread slices.
Evenly distribute the caramelized onions onto two of the cheese-covered slices, then sprinkle with fresh dill.
Top the onion layers with the remaining cheese-covered bread slices, mustard side facing down, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a clean skillet or pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil if desired.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your New Yorker Onion Sandwich with a tangy pickle or a side salad for the full deli experience!
