Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (sharp, sliced)
- 2 slices Swiss cheese (sliced)
- 2 pieces Uncooked bacon strips
- 0.5 medium onion Yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by cooking the bacon. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the caramelized onions. In a small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, golden, and caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Spread a thin, even layer of the mixture on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
Assemble the sandwich: Lay one slice of bread (mayonnaise side down) on a clean surface. Add a slice of Swiss cheese, followed by the caramelized onions, crispy bacon strips, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up.
Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on the top of the sandwich. Place the sandwich buttered side down in the pan.
Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on the top side of the sandwich while the first side is toasting.
Cook the sandwich for about 3–4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula for even browning. Flip carefully and cook the second side for another 3–4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 1–2 minutes. This helps the cheese settle slightly before slicing.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Munroe Melt Sandwich while it’s warm and gooey!
