How this works
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 2 ounces coconut oil, divided
- 2 red onions, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
- 4 cups smoked Gouda, grated
- 2 Red Bartlett pears; halved, cored and thinly sliced
Instructions
- To make balsamic onions: In a medium nonstick skillet, melt 1 ounce coconut oil over medium heat. Add onion and salt; cook, stirring often, until onion begins to caramelize. Add vinegar, sugar and black pepper; then simmer until onions are soft and liquid is reduced to a glaze. Set aside.
- Building the sandwich: Top a slice of bread with ½ cup cheese, followed with pear slices and balsamic onions. Place second slice on top. Press gently.
- Wipe out skillet used to cook the onions; melt remaining 1 ounce of coconut oil over medium heat. Place two sandwiches in skillet, press gently with spatula, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Flip sandwiches, and again cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
- Transfer sandwiches to plates, cut in half, and serve.
