Provided by The Chunky Chef

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

8 slices good quality bread (I used thick cut Artisan bread)
Mayonnaise (for spreading)
12 oz Gruyere cheese (sliced thinly OR grated, at room temperature)
6 oz White cheddar cheese (sliced thinly OR grated, at room temperature)
4 slices thin Muenster cheese (at room temperature)
2 yellow onions (diced)
1 tsp fresh thyme (minced)
2 tsp fresh rosemary (minced, divided)
1 tsp brown sugar
Salt and pepper (to taste)
3 Tbsp butter (divided)
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

Add 1 1/2 Tbsp butter and olive oil to a skillet and heat over MED-LOW heat. Add diced onions, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and 1 tsp of fresh rosemary to the hot skillet and saute, stirring often, until onions are soft and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
Stir brown sugar into the onions and cook another minute.
Transfer onions to a plate.
Spread one side of two pieces of bread with a little bit of mayonnaise.
To the same skillet, add remaining butter and rosemary, and heat over MED heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet with the melted butter.
Add both pieces of bread, mayonnaise side down, and cook until bread is golden brown and crunchy, about 2-3 minutes.
As soon as you add the bread to the skillet, add a bit of cheese to the top of each piece of bread. Once it starts to melt a little, sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the caramelized onions over the top of one of the pieces of bread.
When the bread is good and golden brown, sandwich the pieces of bread together and cook on LOW until cheese is fully melted.
Transfer to a plate, repeat with remaining slices of bread and ingredients.
Slice and enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the right bread: A good grilled cheese sandwich starts with sturdy bread that can hold up to the heat and cheese. Look for a bread that is thick and slightly chewy, such as sourdough, French bread, or even Texas toast.
Use a variety of cheeses: The best grilled cheese sandwiches use a combination of cheeses that melt well and have different flavors. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère, and fontina.
Don't be afraid to add other ingredients: Grilled cheese sandwiches are a blank canvas for creativity. Feel free to add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as bacon, ham, avocado, or roasted vegetables.
Butter your bread: Buttering the bread before grilling it will help it to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Cook your sandwich on low heat: Grilled cheese sandwiches should be cooked on low heat so that the cheese has time to melt all the way through without burning the bread.
Serve your sandwich immediately: Grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan. Serve them with a side of your favorite soup or salad.

The perfect grilled cheese sandwich is a simple but delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a grilled cheese sandwich that is crispy, cheesy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled cheese a try.
