Gourmet Grilled Cheese

Happy New Year!  We got the mother of all blizzards to we had to forgo all parties and stay in.  Some of the kids were disappointed, but we cooked & ate junk food & watched a movie. 

I found this grilled cheese recipe from another food blogger but now can't find it to give them credit.  I will if I can find it.  This is not your processed, horrible for your body, loaded with stuff you can't pronounce grilled cheese.  This actually was very simple, fabulous ingredients & few of them!  Look at the ooey, gooey cheese and perfectly toasted bread!  What could go wrong here?  Here is a little eye candy for you & look below for the recipe.  A reminder on the recipes, I sometimes don't give the measurements.  This is not a mistake.  Usually I am cooking, not baking.  Baking you need to be precise.  Cooking you do not need to be precise, maybe that's why I like cooking more than baking.  I'm sort of laid back, do what I want...wait I digress.  So, cooking=throwing more onions in this recipe if you want.

Grilled Onion and Cheese Sandwich

The Line Up
Bread slices (I used Italian, but beer bread, wheat would all work.  Use a nice heavy bread to hold up the ingredients, and toast well.  No, your regular white kids bread will not do the trick)
Dijon mustard
Oregano (about 1 tsp ish)
S & P  (salt and pepper)
EVOO
Worcestershire Sauce (a splash or two, more if you like that flavor)
Liquid Smoke (about 1/2 tsp, again more if you like that)
Sliver of butter (real stuff, not margarine--that stuff is not natural)
Onions sliced thin (how ever many & flavor you like.  I used red & yellow)
Cheddar Cheese
Fontina Cheese

Put some evoo & butter in a saute pan. 
Get the evoo & butter hot then throw in the onions. 
Saute them for about 5 minutes then add the S&P, oregano, Worcestershire, & liquid smoke and saute until until nicely golden brown.

Take your nice thick bread slice & spread mustard on one slice. 
Add cheddar, add onions, add fontina. 
Top with the other slice of bread.  You will have a sandwich that is untoasted at this point. 
Take another pan (that has a lid) and melt some butter.  Take that beautiful sandwich and set 'er on that melted butter on medium heat.   Put that lid on.  The lid is the trick for getting your bread all nice & golden brown.  
Watch your sandwich you don't want to burn it.  Turn it over to brown the other side.  Take it off & slice it & enjoy the delicious melted cheese with a nice bite of onion!
