Servings: 2
Equipment
- Skillet
- Cheese Grater
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onions
- salt and pepper
- ¼ cup raspberries
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup gruyere cheese
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 - 3 tablespoons buttter
- ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Instructions
- Heat skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil, then add red onions. Allow onions to soften, stirring occasionally.
- In a sauce pan, heat raspberries and sugar on low heat. Smash raspberries to help them cook down faster.
- Grate about ½ cup of gruyere cheese, enough to generously cover one slice of bread. Pile the shredded gruyere on one slice of sourdough bread.
- As the onions continue to soften, move them aside in the pan. Add a couple pats of butter. Lay the bread with the gruyere on the sizzling butter and turn the heat to medium low. Once the raspberries are warmed through and the sugar has dissolved, add a layer to the top of the gruyere. Top with carmelized onions, fresh thyme and the remaining slice of sourdough.
- After 3 to 4 minutes, after the sourdough has become golden brown, use a spatula to flip the whole sandwich. Add another pat of butter if you need to.
- Toast the grilled cheese on the second side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet. Cut in half and serve warm.
