Instructions
- Make the slow-roasted cherry tomatoes–click this link for the recipe. They take three hours to make but are SO worth it and are great to have on hand for pasta, sandwiches, and salads!!
- Make the caramelized onions by heating the butter or olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Season with a bit of sea salt, to taste. Side Note: Add a little water if the onions start to become dry.
- Prepare the sandwich by spreading butter on one side of a piece of the French bread and placing it into a large 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.
- Top with more Gruyere cheese slices, followed by the remaining piece of French bread.
- Spread butter on the top of the bread and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Carefully flip over and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy!
