FRENCH ONION GRILLED CHEESE



French Onion Grilled Cheese image

Grilled cheese is a near-perfect food on its own, but adding bacon, kimchi or, in this case, heaps of caramelized onions really makes it special. Caramelizing onions takes a good half-hour, so save this recipe for when you have a little extra time and company (this recipe serves two). If time permits, you could even prep them ahead in a slow cooker. Rather than layer the grated Gruyère and the warm caramelized onions in the sandwich, you should stir them together before assembling, which guarantees that the cheese will melt evenly throughout and that each bite will contain the perfect ratio of fragrant cheese to jammy onions. A splash of sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar added to the onions balances out the buttery flavors, but a side salad dressed with a tangy mustard vinaigrette would do the trick, too.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound yellow or Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar (optional)
4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
4 slices bread, cut no wider than 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If the onions look dry or like they might burn, add a few tablespoons of water at a time, scraping up any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. If desired, once the onions are done, deglaze the skillet with vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet, or wash it, if necessary.
  • Add the cheese to the onions and stir to combine. Put down two slices of bread, and scoop half of the cheese-onion mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining slices of bread, and press down gently.
  • In the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, reducing the heat to prevent toast from darkening too quickly, if needed. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, flip the sandwiches, press down and cook until the cheese has fully melted and the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon drained horseradish
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Dash of hot sauce
Kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large sweet onions, sliced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 10-inch oval loaf rye bread
12 ounces deli-sliced roast beef
6 ounces Swiss cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, ketchup, horseradish, dill, onion powder and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Make the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour 4 tablespoons of the butter into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onions and thyme to the skillet with the remaining butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the sherry to the skillet; cook until evaporated. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and return to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and the onions are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Trim the ends off the bread loaf. Cut the bread on an angle into 12 slices, leaving the bottom of the loaf intact. (You can position chopsticks along the long sides of the bread to keep from cutting all the way through the loaf.) Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Brush the reserved melted butter between the bread slices and all over the loaf. Set aside about one-third of the onions. Fill every other slice of the loaf with the remaining onions, starting with the first slice. Fold the roast beef and tuck into the onion-filled slices, along with the cheese. Top the loaf with the reserved onions and any onion juices.
  • Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Pull apart or slice into individual sandwiches. Serve with the dressing.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for your grilled cheese sandwich. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well to the filling and won't get soggy.
  • Use plenty of butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread. This will help the sandwich brown evenly and give it a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the sandwiches in batches if necessary, to prevent them from steaming instead of browning.
  • If you're using a cast iron skillet, preheat it over medium heat for at least 5 minutes before cooking the sandwiches. This will help the sandwiches brown evenly.
  • Cook the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and gooey, and the bread is golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

The French onion roast beef grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With its flavorful combination of roast beef, caramelized onions, and melted cheese, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
