1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and ensure the cheeses are grated and the caramelized onion jam is ready.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer half of the cheddar and Swiss cheese, followed by a generous spoonful of caramelized onion jam, and then the remaining cheese. Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side up.
3
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
4
Prepare the Au Jus
While the sandwiches are grilling, heat the beef or vegetable broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
5
Serve
Cut the grilled cheese sandwiches in half and serve with warm au jus on the side for dipping.
