Onion Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

- 3 Tablespoons butter, plus more for buttering bread
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
-2 medium onions, sliced  1/4 inch thick
-1 tsp Kosher salt *I used 1/2 tsp regular salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
-1 tsp fresh thyme leaves *I used 1/2 tsp from a jar
- 3 Tablespoons beef stock
- 4 slices sourdough bread *I used Garlic Herb and it was great
- 1/2 cup grated apple smoked gruyere cheese *I'm cheap and used Mozzarella

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add in the onions and stir so they are all coated in the fat. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.

Stir and add in salt, pepper, sugar, and thyme. Stir and cover the pan and let cook. Stir and cook until onions are soft and deep golden in color. Add in beef stock and remove from heat.

On preheated griddle, place a slice of buttered bread, butter side down, top it with a little cheese, then some onions and a little cheese on top of that. Top it all with the second slice of bread. Cook like a grilled cheese.
