Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

First, prepare the Caramelized Onion: Melt Butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add Yellow Onion and Sugar, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until onions are deeply golden brown and softened.
Spread softened Butter on one side of each slice of Sourdough Bread.
On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer half of the Cheddar Cheese, then all of the Caramelized Onion, then the Gruyère Cheese, and finally the remaining Cheddar Cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Press down gently with a spatula while cooking.
Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, and serve immediately.
