Gruyere, Slow Roasted Tomato, and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese

Gruyere, Slow Roasted Tomato, and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese

So, my daughter started high school today. Time is flying by way too fast!!!

How did I cope? I made this decadent Gruyere, slow-roasted cherry tomatoes, and caramelized onion grilled cheese for lunch. Totally unhealthy. Totally delicious. Totally worth it. I savored each and every bite and LOVED it. This sandwich has such a great combination of flavors & textures–it’s seriously the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. I may just do it all over again tomorrow when my son starts 7th grade. Gulp.

How to Make a Gruyere, Slow Roasted Tomato, and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese

Make the slow-roasted cherry tomatoes – click this link for the recipe. They take three hours to make but are SO worth it!!

Make the caramelized onions by heating the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Season with a bit of sea salt, to taste.

Spread butter over one side of a piece of the French bread and place it into a skillet over medium heat. Add a thin layer of Gruyere cheese on the bread, then spoon some of the slow-roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic on top, followed by a layer of caramelized onions.

  1. What a great looking grilled cheese Pam – Our kids are experiencing the first child going away to college and I have to believe the moms are feeling it.

  2. It is FOR SURE comfort food season, and to me that means making lots of grilled cheese! I love that you doctored it up with those candy tomatoes and caramelized onions. So good!
