⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat a skillet over medium heat to ensure even toasting without burning. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each sourdough slice. This creates a golden, crisp exterior once cooked.
2. 2.
   Lay down a slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, on a cutting board. Layer the 3 oz of sharp cheddar cheese evenly across the bread to ensure a consistent melt and satisfying pull when you take a bite.
3. 3.
   Generously spoon 1/4 cup of caramelized onions over the cheese. The onions should add sweetness and a slight tang. If they’re not caramelized before starting, cook sliced onions in a bit of butter on low for 20 minutes until they’re soft and brown.
4. 4.
   Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter across the top layer for a rich flavor and added crispness.
5. 5.
   Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes on the first side until the bread is golden and the cheese begins to melt. Gently press down with a spatula for even cooking and flipping.
6. 6.
   Flip the sandwich carefully with a spatula, cooking the other side for another 3-5 minutes. When both sides are golden brown and the cheese has fully melted, remove from heat. Prepare to serve by slicing the sandwich diagonally to showcase the gooey interior.
