The Free Press Melt Recipe

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.
