Ingredients
CARAMELIZED ONIONS
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large sweet onions (about 1 lb.), thinly sliced into wedges
SANDWICHES
8 ounces Gruyère cheese, sliced or grated
8 sourdough bread slices
8 ounces deli ham, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup Caramelized Onions
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup baby spinach or arugula (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature Dill pickle (optional)
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare the Caramelized Onions: Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet with high sides over low. Add onions, and cook, stirring often, until onions are caramelized, about 45 minutes.
Step 2
Prepare the Sandwiches: Divide Gruyère cheese among 4 of the bread slices; top evenly with sliced ham. Spread some of the Dijon mustard on each of the 4 remaining bread slices; top evenly with Caramelized Onions and goat cheese. Top with spinach, if using. Close sandwiches together, and spread 2 tablespoons of the butter evenly over the top bread slices.
Step 3
Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low. Place sandwiches, buttered side down, in hot skillet. Spread remaining butter on unbuttered bread slices. Turn sandwich occasionally, until bread is crisp and golden and cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes. Cut in half and serve.
