Hearty artisan breads are best for lumpy or moist fillings, like in our yummy French Onion Melt.

French Onion Melt

butter

onions,

salt

black pepper

thyme leaves

dry sherry

(4 ounces) shredded or sliced Jarlsberg, Gruyère or Swiss cheese

(1/2-inch-thick) diagonally cut French bread slices

Butter, softened

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes or until dark golden brown. Stir in salt and next 3 ingredients.


Place 1/4 cup cheese on each of 2 bread slices. Top each evenly with half of onion mixture. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining 2 bread slices.


Spread outside of sandwiches with softened butter. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium heat 2 minutes on each side or until cheese melts and bread is golden brown.


this was really good.  I'm always on the lookout for Meatless Monday recipes that don't require a ton of prep.  As far as adding meat to this dish, WHY?  It is not supposed to be some take off on a soup or sandwich with meat; it is a takeoff of French Onion Soup.  Also, please don't put up a review of the recipe if you haven't made it yet.  when you add a review before making the dish you are simply reviewing the ingredients and that is NOT a review.

I adored this! To the other previous reviewer...sometimes simple is best. If you are looking to make a Philly cheesesteak you should do a search for that!

Sounds like a good start....just need to add some french onion soup on the side for dipping!

Very clever title for what is basically a grilled caramelized onion and cheese sandwich. Seems that something is missing. How about a pile of rare roast beef? Oh, now we are turning it into a Philly cheese steak sandwich, aren't we. Nothing new under the sun.
