Indulge in the ultimate comfort food elevated to gourmet heights with a fancy grilled cheese featuring brown sugar onions. This tantalizing creation begins with thick slices of artisanal bread toasted to golden perfection. Between the slices, a symphony of flavors unfolds: creamy, melted cheese oozes with each bite, while caramelized onions infused with brown sugar add a luxurious sweetness and depth. The onions, slow-cooked to perfection, bring a delicate balance to the richness of the cheese, creating a harmonious blend of savory and sweet. With each bite, the crispy exterior gives way to a molten center, making this elevated grilled cheese a culinary delight that satisfies the most discerning palates.

Ingredients

• 4 slices Gruyère
• 4 slices Gouda
• 4 sliced havarti
• 1 onion finely diced
• 1.5 tbsps brown sugar
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 8 slices thick but brioche bread

Instructions

1. Heat large griddle to medium low heat.
2. Into a small skillet, add the oil. Once hot, add in the diced onion.
3. Cook onion down approximately 10 minutes until very soft.
4. Add brown sugar to onion and mix continuously. This will stop the brown sugar from burning. Once brown sugar is fully melted and covering the onions, turn off heat.
5. Butter one side of each slice of bread and put buttered side down in the warm griddle.
6. Layer bread with cheese. I did this with 1.5 slices on each piece of bread.
7. Once you see the cheese beginning to melt, add about a tablespoon of the onions on top of one side of the bread.
8. Once the cheese is melted, add the side without onions to the opposite side with the onions. Allow to brown, flipping if need be.
9. Remove once both sides are brown to your liking. Enjoy!
