Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 0.5 medium yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moons.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
Butter the other side of each slice of bread evenly with 1 tablespoon of butter per slice.
Place one slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down, onto a heated skillet over medium-low heat. Arrange the cheddar cheese on top of the bread, ensuring even coverage.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve immediately and enjoy your Super Snazzy Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
