Triple Decker Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese with caramelized onions and gruyere might be the most comforting food known to earth. Hearty, delicious and so fun. And, now that you know the triple decker technique, you can make all your grilled cheeses this way!
Ingredients
- 3 slices white bread
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ C gruyere cheese grated
- ½ C caramelized onions
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan to medium low heat.
- Spread mayo over one side of each slice of bread. Building on the dry side, layer cheese, onions, and more cheese. Top with second slice of bread, mayo facing out.
- Add sandwich to the pan. Flip when first side is golden brown and cheese is starting to melt.
- Once you've flipped the sandwich, it's time to add our third layer. While still in the pan, once again layer cheese, onion and cheese on the top surface of the grilled cheese. Add the last slice of bread, mayo facing out.
- Flip the sandwich one last time to cook on the last face. Press down on the grilled cheese with your cooking utensil to make it a bit thinner.
- Once the cheese is melted and the last side is golden brown, remove, slice, and eat immediately.
Notes
You can use as little or as much cheese and onion to fill the grilled cheese as you want.
Remember to cook it low and slow. If the pan is too hot when you put the sandwich in, it'll burn on the outside, and the cheese won't melt. Yuck.
