Cooking Instructions

• Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the onions become golden brown and soft. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2-3 minutes to deepen the flavor. Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat, ready for grilling the sandwiches.
• On two slices of sourdough bread, layer half of the shredded cheddar cheese, spread the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese, add the apple slices, then the pear slices, and top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Finish by placing the other two slices of bread on top.
• Place one sandwich in the heated skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
• Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese inside is fully melted.
• Grill the second sandwich following the same method.
• Remove both sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm for maximum flavor and gooey texture.
