GRILLED SAUSAGE SANDWICHES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND GRUYèRE CHEESE



Grilled Sausage Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions and Gruyère Cheese image

Categories     Sandwich     Onion     Sausage     Winter     Swiss Cheese     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
3 fully cooked smoked sausages (such as white bratwurst or chicken-apple)
4 large slices rye or pumpernickel bread
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 ounces Gruyère or Emmenthal cheese, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, sugar and caraway seeds. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté until onions are deep brown and very tender, about 20 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
  • Preheat broiler. Brush 11x7-inch metal baking pan with oil. Place sausages in pan. Broil until sausages are brown and crisp, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer sausages to work surface and cut lengthwise in half.
  • Arrange 3 sausage halves on each of 2 bread slices. Spread 2 teaspoons mustard over sausages on each. Top sausages with caramelized onions, dividing equally. Top with Gruyère or Emmenthal cheese slices, dividing equally. Cover with remaining 2 bread slices. Spread half of butter over upper bread slices.
  • Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully invert sandwiches, buttered side down, into skillet. Cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 5 minutes. Spread remaining butter over upper bread slices. Turn sandwiches, cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 4 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bratwurst: Look for bratwurst made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices. Avoid brands that contain fillers or artificial ingredients.
  • Grill the bratwurst over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning or drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn down to a medium-low heat before grilling the bratwurst.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to tell if the bratwurst is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the center of the bratwurst and cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Caramelize the onions: Slowly cooking the onions over low heat will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be patient and don't rush this step.
  • Use a sturdy bread: The bread you use for your open-face sandwiches should be able to hold up to the weight of the bratwurst and onions. A good option is a hearty rye bread or a crusty baguette.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the bratwurst and onions are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings to your open-face sandwiches. Some popular options include sauerkraut, mustard, and ketchup.

Conclusion:

Grilled bratwurst and onion open-face sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that everyone will enjoy.
