Uniting 2 great loves: French Onion Soup and Grilled Cheese

So I give you my personal tribute to the Grilled Cheese Sandwich:

The French Onion Sandwich

Ingredients:
1 medium sized yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
¼ cup beef stock
a couple of slices Gruyere cheese
Sliced French bread

Directions:

Heat a skillet with 2 tbsp olive oil. Place sliced onions in pan and cook on medium-low heat for 30-45 minutes until caramelized. About ½ way through, add butter. When caramelized, add beef stock and cook until reduced. Place slices of cheese on both slices of the bread—this prevents the bread from getting soggy. Place caramelized onions in the center of one slice, close and place in a panini press until golden brown.
