Gruyere with Caramelized Onions

1. 1

   Preheat a sandwich press according to the manufacturers specifications (see Note, page 96).

2. 2

   Place 2 slices of cheese on each of 4 slices of bread.

3. 3

   Follow with a generous amount of onions and the other 2 slices of cheese.

4. 4

   Close the sandwiches and place in the sandwich press (no need to butter the press or the bread).

5. 5

   Close the lid and apply slight pressure.

6. 6

   Cook without disturbing for 5 to 8 minutes.

7. 7

   Open the press and check for color and temperature: The cheese should be melted and the bread golden.

8. 8

   If the bread is sticking to the press, allow it to cook for a bit longer and it will unstick itself.

9. 9

   If the press seems to generate more heat on the bottom, flip the sandwich halfway through to ensure even cooking (making sure the ridges in the bread line up).

10. 10

    Once cooked, remove, cut into halves, and serve.
