Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onions, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take two slices of rye bread and layer a slice of Swiss cheese, followed by half of the caramelized onions, and then a slice of cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of rye bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter if needed. Repeat with the second sandwich.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once both sandwiches are grilled, remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side.
