Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, around 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the Bread: While the onions are caramelizing, slice the sourdough bread and lightly toast the slices to create a crispy base.
- Assemble the Toppings: Once the bread is toasted, evenly distribute the caramelized onions over each slice, then sprinkle the shredded Gouda cheese on top.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the topped bread slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the caramelized onion and Gouda sourdough warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a low and slow cooking method for the onions to achieve deep caramelization without burning.
- Gouda can be substituted with other meltable cheeses like Gruyère or Fontina, but the flavor profile will change accordingly.
- For added flavor, sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary before baking.
- Serve as an appetizer, snack, or light lunch with a side salad.
- Leftover toppings can be stored separately and reheated before assembly.
