Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 15 minutes until caramelized.
  • In the same skillet, add bacon slices and cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Assemble sandwiches with a slice of bread, cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, another slice of cheese, and top with another slice of bread.
  • Spread butter on the outer sides of the bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
  • Toast the sandwiches in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  • Remove, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

Customize with additional ingredients like jalapeños for extra spice. For perfect caramelization, avoid rushing the onion cooking process.
