Roasted red onion mayo[]
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Directions[]
Sandwich[]
- Preheat a seasoned grill pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Assemble this sandwich just as you would a traditional grilled cheese sandwich: spread 1 slice of bread with some red onion mayo, then top with 2 slices cheddar, the bacon, the apple slices, then 2 more slices of cheddar, finishing with another mayo-slathered slice of bread.
- Butter the outsides of the bread and transfer to the hot grill.
- Grill about 3 minutes per side, since this sandwich is so thick.
- Remove to a cutting board and cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal to serve.
Roasted red onion mayo[]
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the red onion, olive oil, salt and pepper together.
- Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion is very soft, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Transfer to a food processor and buzz until finely chopped.
- Add the mayo and pulse until smooth and combined.
