Source:
| 2 medium | yellow onions, peeled, cut in half and sliced into 1/4" thick semi circles |
| 3 tbsp | unsalted butter, softened, plus more for buttering the bread |
| 1 tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 scant tsp | course sea salt |
| 1 tsp | fresh thyme leaves |
| 1/2 tsp | fresh black pepper |
| Pinch | granulated sugar |
| 3 tbsp | beef broth |
| 1/2 cup | finely shredded gruyere |
| 4 slices | bread |
Place a medium, heavy bottom sauce pan over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil and stir until butter is melted. Add the sliced onions all at once. Stir to coat the onions in the fat. Allow onions to cook undisturbed for about 4 mins. Add salt, thyme, and pepper and stir. Place lid on the pan and allow onions to cook for about 4 mins at a time. Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly. Remove the lid to stir the onions every so often. The onions will begin to brown, break down and resemble an onion jam.
When onions are entirely browned and completelt soft, add your liquid to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any burned bits off the bottom of the pan as the liquid evaporates. This takes about 30 seconds. Remove pan from heat and allow to rest while you assemble the sandwiches.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side add a good sprinkling of gruyere, top with warm onion mixture, top with more cheese and the final piece of bread. Repeat process in assembling the other sandwich.
Cook sandwiches over medium heat in a medium saute pan. Flip and cook until golden on the outside and melty on the inside. Serve immediately.
