Ingredients
French Onions
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large white onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup wine I used Résonance Pinot Noir
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Sandwich
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a skillet add butter. Once hot and melted, add the onions, salt and pepper. Allow them to cook over medium low heat until deeply caramelize for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become very dark, soft and jammy.
- Add in the garlic, wine, balsamic, and Worcestershire. Allow the French onion sauce to simmer to 5 minutes until thickened.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. Add to a skillet over medium heat and layer shredded cheese, French onions, more shredded cheese, and another slice of bread with butter side facing up.
- Cook until the bread has browned (about 2-4 minutes) and then flip.
- You can cover the skillet with a lid or place into a preheated oven if you need help getting the cheese to melt.
