Sweet And Spicy Caramelized Onion & Bbq Grilled Cheese - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
8 slices ciabatta, italian or 8 slices challah
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices monterey jack pepper cheese or 4 slices other spicy cheese
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons softened butter, divided
2 -4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
Preparation
-
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and stir occasionally until color changes to slightly brown and taste is sweet, about 10-15 minutes. Remove onions from skillet and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter onto one side of each slice of bread.
Divide barbecue sauce evenly among 4 of the slices and spread evenly opposite the butter side. Lay cheddar cheese on top of sauce. Divide caramelized onion among the sandwiches, then top with pepper jack. Finish assembly by placing remaining bread slices on top. The butter sides of the bread should both be on the outside of the sandwiches.
Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet and cook sandwiches two at a time, flipping when bread is golden brown on one side and cheese begins to melt. If cheese is not melting quickly enough, place a lid over the pan or use a heavy skillet to place on top and press the sandwiches down.
