Sweet and Spicy Grilled Cheese Sammies

"This is what your basic childhood fav. wants to be when it grows up. It reminds you why you loved grilled cheese as a kid, but makes you glad you're an adult!"
(serves 4)

2 t. canola oil
1 large red onion, finely diced (about 2 cups)
Kosher* salt and freshly* ground pepper
2 oz. sharp cheddar, thinly sliced
8 slices bread of your choice*
3 oz. pepper Jack cheese, thinly sliced
1 large or med. ripe beefsteak or hothouse tomatoes, sliced
Cooking spray

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med. heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden and the edges are browned, 10-12 mins. Season with S&P. Divide the cheddar cheese between 4 slices of the bread. Spread 1 T. of the caramelized onions on top of the cheddar, then top with the pepper Jack. Place 1 large or 2 med. slices of tomato and the other slice of bread on top. Clean and dry the skillet, then coat with cooking spray and heat over med.-high heat until hot. Place one of the sammies in the skillet and weigh down with a heavy skillet or plate. Lower the heat to med.-low and grill until the underside is a deep brown but not burnt and the cheese is partially melted, 5-6 mins. Flip and grill the other side until it's nicely colored, another 4-5 mins. Slice in half and serve hot. Repeat with the other sandwiches.

"There is a lot that is good in your life. Don't take it for granted."

Happy Friday!!!

Love,
