Pear & Apple Grilled Cheese With Caramelized Onions: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 44 minute

Ingredients

– 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)
– 1 medium pear, thinly sliced
– 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar, gouda, or brie work well)
– 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary for added flavor


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Pear & Apple Grilled Cheese With Caramelized Onions:

1. Caramelize the Onions:
– In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
– Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
– Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden brown.

2. Prepare the Bread:
– While the onions are caramelizing, lay the slices of bread on a clean surface.
– On one slice, layer half the cheese, followed by the sliced pears and apples, and then the caramelized onions.
– Top with the remaining cheese and place the second slice of bread on top.

3. Grill the Sandwich:
– In the same skillet used for the onions, add a little more butter if needed and heat over medium-low.
– Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.

4. Flip and Cook:
– Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese melts and the bread becomes crispy.

5. Serve:
– Once the sandwich is golden and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet. Allow it to rest for a minute before slicing in half.
