Grilled Cheese. Classic comfort food. Wonder bread covered in butter, all brown and crisp, with some sort of cheese product inside. It's a classic for a reason. Everyone in the world craves grilled cheese when they're sick, even people who don't know what grilled cheese is. It's in our collective DNA.
I've always been a bit afraid of grilled cheese. I would burn the bread, or not brown it enough. The cheese wouldn't melt. And trying to make the soup(you know what soup I'm talking about) at the same time was a recipe for disaster, not dinner, so either the sandwich or the soup was cold. It's a mess.
But today, dear friends, I have conquered my fear, and made what just might be the best grilled cheese sandwich anyone has ever had. The bread was perfect, the cheese was melty. Oh, and the onions. I've spent the past 29 years avoiding onions like they were poison, but in the past few months I've discovered that I adore caramelized onions.
A friend told me about this recipe awhile back, and I knew that both my husband would love it. I wasn't sure I would love it, because I have the palate of an 8 year old, plus the grilled cheese phobia, but I decided to give it a whirl.
Ingredients Needed: (for 2 sandwiches)
4 slices of bread(whatever kind you want..rye would probably work really well with this. I used white bread, because that was what I had handy)
4 slices muenster cheese
1/2 sweet yellow onion
2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp butter softened for spreading on bread.
To Make:
Okay, really it's grilled cheese. You probably don't need me to tell you how to make grilled cheese. Slice onion, and saute in the butter until browned and soft, about 30-40 minutes. Cook grilled cheese as you normally would, except pile onions on top of cheese.
