Well, on Instagram I promised another recipe using caramelized onions – and really there are SO many amazing uses for them that I can promise more will be on the way.
I love a good bowl of french onion soup, but sometimes I want that flavor without the… well, soup. It already has that amazing cheesy baguette on top, but what if I took it a step further?
Like a sandwich. A french onion sandwich. And an open-faced sandwich at that. (French onion toast?)
Because honestly, who wants to spend an hour making a sandwich?
I love a big chunk of bread smeared with butter and a little helping of these onions. It’s simple and satisfying. But when I’m looking for a meal – a real meal that’s more than just this tasty snack – I’m reaching for this sandwich again and again.
It’s piled up with slices of roast beef, a hearty share of onions and melty, melty swiss cheese.
If that doesn’t conjure up images of straight-up comfort food I don’t know what will.
Hey look, I found one.
So let me ask you a question. When looking at sandwich recipes, do you always go by the exact measurement of each ingredient, or do you just go with your gut? Me, I’ve had a lot of experience over the years making sandwiches. One could say that it is its own food group in my house (fast and filling – who can argue).
I go with my gut. When a recipe tells me I need a tablespoon of mustard for my sandwich I say “screw it, I know what I want!” So typically I like to leave things like that up to your discretion. I’ll include it today, of course, but please feel free to alter it however you wish. Just make sure you do actually use mustard. I tested it with and without and trust me, it is sooooo much better with!
Until next time. X
