INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a skillet, add butter and sliced onions.  Cook on medium low for about 20 minutes until onions start to brown.
  • Add in sugar and mix in.  Cook another 20 minutes until onions begin to look caramelized.
  • Add in beef broth and cook another 5-10 minutes.  The beef broth will cook into the onions.
  • Spread mayonnaise on the outside of the slices of bread.  This is the side of the bread that will be on the direct heat.
  • Place 2 slices of cheese on the inside of each slice. 
  • On one half, add half of the onions to each sandwich.
  • Place the other slice on top of the onions to create the sandwich.
  • Place sandwich in the cast iron skillet once it is heated up.  Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes or until the bread becomes toasted and the cheese begins to melt. 
  • Garnish with thyme.
