Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- Toast the Bread: While the onions are cooking, slice the sourdough bread and lightly toast the slices until they are crisp and slightly browned.
- Assemble the Toppings: Once the bread is toasted, evenly distribute the caramelized onions on top of each slice, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Gouda cheese over the onions.
- Bake to Melt Cheese: Place the topped bread slices on a baking sheet and put them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve Warm: Remove the bread from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use aged Gouda cheese.
- If you prefer, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary on top before baking for an herby twist.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste when caramelizing onions to balance sweetness.
- Sourdough slices can be thicker for a heartier toast or thinner for a crispier texture.
