Ingredients
2tablespoonsolive or canola oil
1medium-sized yellow onionsliced
1-2tablespoonsbutter
2slicespotato bread
1-2teaspoonsspicy brown mustard
3slicesAmerican cheese
1/4-1/3cupMexican blend cheeseshredded
6-8pickled jalapeno slices
Instructions
In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and stir to coat them in the oil. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, until the onions are completely caramelized to a nice, deep brown. (This could take quite awhile, so be patient.)
Once the onions are done, remove them from the heat and set aside.
Lightly spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat.
While the skillet warms, thoroughly butter one side of each slice of bread.
Once the skillet is hot, add the first slice of bread, butter side down, and spread a thin layer of spicy brown mustard on it. Place one and one-half slices of American cheese on the bread next, followed by the jalapeno slices, as many caramelized onions as desired and shredded cheese. Add the final slice and a half of American cheese, and complete the sandwich by lightly spreading mustard on the non-buttered side of the remaining piece of bread, before placing it on top of the sandwich, butter side up.
Let the sandwich toast for a couple minutes, flipping the entire thing over when the bread on the bottom reaches your desired level of toastiness.
Once you flip the sandwich, press it down firmly with your spatula to compress it. Let the sandwich toast for another couple of minutes until the bread has reached your desired level of toastiness. Remove it from the skillet and serve.
