Delicious Grilled Cheese Recipe

Alright I took some blog time off, so I'm trying to make up for it with recipes. :P

So this was my dinner tonight. It's amazing and the boyfriend loves it too. But I will be honest, as far as vegetarian foods go, this one is one of the least healthy, but it is such a good comfort food that I think it is well worth the caloric splurge. This grilled cheese in particular has 3 different cheeses, pesto, and caramelized onions. It's delicious cheesy goodness.

You will need:

  • 2 slices bread of your choice (it's great on Texas size bread and whole wheat bread), per sandwich
  • 1 slice of Swiss, 1 of Cheddar and 1 of Provolone
  • pesto, to taste
  • 1/8 yellow onion, diced
  • butter, as needed
  • brown sugar, 1 tsp or to taste
In a small pan, melt 1tbs or so of butter. Over medium eat, add diced onions and brown sugar. Stir until brown sugar is mixed throughout/no longer in clumps. Heat until onions are wilting and caramel colored and delicious. While the onions are cooking, spread pesto on one side of both slices of bread. Place cheese on one slice, on top of pest, in some sort of order that you like (I usually go white orange white, but that's just me). When onions are done, place caramelized onions on top to taste, close sandwich and spread some butter on the top slice. Heat another pan and melt some butter (you're seeing now why this is so unhealthy but delicious) over medium heat. When butter is melted, add sandwiches with buttered side up. Heat until desired sandwich color is reached (about 1.5-2 minutes with my stove), flip and repeated on other side. Yum! You're ready to enjoy you buttery, sweet, salty, onion and garlicky, super cheesy grilled cheese. :) Enjoy!

ALSO- Surprise Bonus Recipe
For St. Patty's Day, my friend Jane came over and brought beer (that we dyed green lol) and I made a potato soup and some Irish soda bread. I will not give you the soda bread recipe because the recipe I used turned out kind of bad- it was WAY too wet and I had to add a ridiculous amount of flour to make up for it and then  it came out very heavy. It was tasty, but heavy... Anyways, here is a link to the potato soup recipe that I used.  Although note: I used vegetable broth and used Herbs de Provence instead of thyme because that was the closest thing I had...and I had no parsley.
