Crispy bacon & brie grilled cheese sandwich with caramelised onions

There’s something about melted cheese in general that just draws people in like a moth to a flame. Add crisp bacon and sweet, caramelised onions and you have perfection on bread. This is what I promise with this sandwich. Nothing fancy. Nothing ground breaking. Just a damn good grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients

for the caramelised onions

• 3 large onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

for the sandwich

• 250g bacon, cooked until crisp
• 100g brie cheese, sliced
• 4-6 slices bread of your choice

Instructions

1. To make the caramelised onions, heat a large frying pan over medium heat then sauté the onions in the olive oil with the salt until soft and golden. Add the sugar and vinegar and allow to caramelise. Set aside.
2. To make the sandwich, butter the bread on both sides then top with the onions, brie cheese and bacon.
3. Grill in a hot pan/sandwich press until golden brown and heated through.
4. Serve immediately.
