Ingredients

Instructions

1

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion slices and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden.

Tip: Low heat and patience are key. Don't rush the caramelization.

2

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inside of each bread slice. Layer the three cheeses and caramelized onions between the slices.

3

Spread mayonnaise on the outside of each slice (this gives a crispier, more even golden crust than butter alone).

4

Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until deeply golden and the cheese is fully melted.

5

Toss mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette. Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve with the salad on the side.
