1
Sauté the Onions
Slice the medium onion into thin rings. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

2
Prepare the Sandwich
Take 2 slices of rye bread and place a slice of Swiss cheese on each. Add a generous portion of the sautéed onions on top of the cheese. Place another slice of Swiss cheese on top of the onions and top with another slice of rye bread.

3
Toast the Sandwich
In the same skillet used for the onions, add a little more butter if needed and heat over medium-low heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted to perfection.

4
Serve
Once both sides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet. Let it sit for a minute, then slice in half and serve hot.
