Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until they become translucent and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    While the onions are sautéing, slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  3. 3

    Toast the Garlic Bread

    Toast the garlic bread slices in the oven or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each slice of toasted garlic bread, layer the roast beef, sautéed onions, and tomato slices.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each open-faced sandwich and return them to the oven under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
