Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cook over medium to medium-low heat for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are deeply caramelized. Add a pinch of salt, remove from the pot, and set aside.
- Prepare the Dipping Broth: In the same pot, add 2 tablespoons of butter to deglaze. Whisk in the flour, then add thyme, sherry, beef broth, and pepper. Stir and heat over medium for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
- Assemble and Cook Grilled Cheese: Butter each slice of bread. Place buttered side down on a skillet over medium heat. Once the bottom is toasted, flip and layer cheese and caramelized onions on one side, then top with the other slice of bread. Continue to toast until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Serve: Slice the sandwiches and serve with the dipping broth on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder to the onions while caramelizing.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the sherry wine with additional beef broth.
