French Onion Grilled Cheese with Gruyere and Thick Cut Bacon

A hearty French onion, bacon, grilled cheese sandwich that's as easy to make as it is delicious.

Ingredients
Preparation
  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. Slice baguette in half, cut-side up. Place onions on the bottom slice, followed by cheese and bacon. Top with the remaining bread slice.
  3. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Remove and place a cutting board. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.

 

Note: To caramelize onions, use 2 large yellow onions cut into rings, enough for 1 cup. Coat a large skillet with olive oil. Place onions into pan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once they soften and begin to brown, reduce the heat to low. Caramelize slowly, stirring occasionally, until deep brown and very soft, about 40 minutes.
