Units Scale
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 large red onion, finely diced (about 2 cups)
- 8 slices whole-wheat bread
- 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 3 ounces pepper jack cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 large or 2 medium ripe beefsteak or hothouse tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden and the edges are browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the cheddar cheese between 4 slices of the bread.
- Spread one tablespoon of the caramelized onions on top of the cheddar, then top with the pepper jack.
- Place one or two slices of tomato on the cheese and then top with the other slice of bead.
- Clean and dry the skillet, then coat with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place one of the sandwiches in the skillet and weigh down with a heavy skillet or plate. Lower the heat to medium-low and grill until the underside is a deep brown but not burnt and the cheese is partially melted, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the sandwich and grill the other side until it’s nicely colored another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Slice in half and serve hot.
- Repeat with other sandwiches.
