Onion Sandwich image

James Beard took this recipe from his colleagues Irma and Bill Rhode over 60 years ago, but there's something delicate, fresh and unfussy about the sandwich even now. There isn't much to it, so each component really matters: Slice the onions thinly and evenly, season well, and be gentle so you don't squish the bread as you press each sandwich shut. Rolling the edge of the sandwich in chopped parsley (or a mix of parsley and other fresh herbs), gives it a retro styling touch, but it's crucial for flavor, too.

Time 20m

Yield 12 mini sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 loaf challah or brioche, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 sweet white onions, such as Vidalia
Crunchy sea salt, to taste
1 cup fresh herbs, such as parsley, or a mix of parsley, tarragon and marjoram, chopped

Steps:

  • Using a 1 1/2-inch cutter, cut 24 rounds from the bread and arrange in 12 pairs. Spread each round with mayonnaise.
  • Slice the onions through the equator, evenly and thinly, and put a slice that fits the bread on half the bread rounds. Salt lightly, then cover with a second round of bread.
  • When sandwiches are assembled, spread remaining mayonnaise on a piece of parchment paper, and have the chopped herbs ready in a bowl.
  • Hold a sandwich, and roll the edge in mayonnaise, then in the chopped herbs, covering the edge. Cover and chill for about 1 hour and up to 6 hours before serving.

I made this sandwich for lunch and it was perfect. The onions were caramelized to perfection and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

This sandwich was just okay. The onions were not caramelized enough and the cheese was not melted all the way through. I would not make this again.

This sandwich was a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would probably make this again, but I would use less butter.

Easy to make and so tasty! I used a sharp cheddar cheese and it was the perfect amount of sharpness. The onions were also perfectly caramelized.

I've made this sandwich twice now and it's been a hit both times. The onions are so flavorful and the cheese is perfectly melted. I highly recommend this recipe!

This onion sandwich is a real winner! The combination of sweet onions, sharp cheese, and tangy dressing is perfect. I especially loved the crunch of the panko breadcrumbs.
