approx 1/2 TBSP butter or ghee
approx 1/2 TBSP olive oil
1 medium red onion cut into rings
2 slices of your favorite bread
good quality, grainy mustard
any type of cheese you’d like
- In a small skillet (big enough to fit a sandwich), melt butter & add oil.
- Add the onions & saute over medium heat until golden, approx 5 – 7 mins.
- Remove skillet from heat & transfer the onions to a small bowl (use a fork or slotted spoon to do this so that the onion flavored oil can drip back into the pan).
- Spread both pieces of bread with mustard.
- Top one of the bread slices with the onions.
- Add desired amount of cheese on top of the onions.
- Close sandwich & transfer to pan, frying both sides over medium low to medium heat (might need a little extra oil for the second side).
- Put a heavy ceramic bowl on top of the sandwich as it’s frying to press it (to get somewhat of a panini effect). Careful not to let it burn. You only need 2 or 3 minutes on each side.
