Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 whole Large yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 6 slices Deli-style ham
- 3 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 pieces Rustic bread or ciabatta rolls
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted.
Add the onion slices to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and brown sugar over the onions. Stir well.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. If the onions stick to the pan, add a small splash of water and stir to release the browned bits.
While the onions are caramelizing, lightly toast the bread or ciabatta rolls in a toaster or under a broiler until golden.
Spread Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice and mayonnaise on the other side.
Layer 3 slices of ham on the bottom half of each sandwich. Top the ham with caramelized onions and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Place the sandwich halves on a baking tray and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven, top with the other slice of bread, and press down gently.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
