Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Toastie:

  • 2 slices of bread (your choice of toast bread)
  • 70 g cheese grated (cheddar, gouda, or emmentaler)

For the Caramelised Onions:

  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (aceto balsamico)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting them melt together.
  • Add the thinly sliced onions to the pan. Stir to coat the onions evenly in the oil and butter mixture.
  • Cook the onions on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, until they are soft and golden.
  • Sprinkle in the brown sugar and stir well to dissolve.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the onions from the heat and set aside.
  • Lay one slice of bread on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly on top.
  • Spoon a generous layer of caramelised onions over the cheese.
  • Top with the remaining grated cheese and place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
  • Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to lightly coat the surface.
  • Place the assembled sandwich in the pan and press gently with a spatula.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Slice the toastie in half, serve immediately, and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
