🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add Yellow Onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until deeply caramelized and golden brown. Season with Salt, Black Pepper, and Thyme during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Spread Butter on one side of each slice of Sourdough Bread.
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a clean skillet over medium-low heat.
Layer Cheddar Cheese and Gruyere Cheese on top of the bread.
Top with the caramelized Onions.
Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Serve immediately.
