From the Test Kitchen

For these grilled cheeses, you'll layer caramelized onion with melty fontina and cheddar cheese to give this comfort food favorite a gourmet boost. For a sweet contrast, we’re dressing leaves of buttery lettuce with a piquant mix of fig spread and dijonnaise, plus almonds for a bit of crunch.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare & caramelize the onions

Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onions. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Add the sliced onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Add the worcestershire sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and half the vinegar. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the onion is coated. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the dressing

Meanwhile, wash and dry the lettuce. Cut off and discard the root ends; roughly chop the leaves. Thinly slice both cheeses. Roughly chop the peppers. Roughly chop the artichokes. In a large bowl, whisk together the fig spread, honey (kneading the packet before opening), dijonnaise, remaining vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of water. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Assemble & cook the sandwiches

Assemble the sandwiches using the bread, caramelized onions, sliced cheeses, and prosciutto (removing the plastic lining between the slices and tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding). Rinse and wipe out the pan used to caramelize the onions. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the sandwiches; loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board; carefully halve the cooked sandwiches on an angle.

4 Make the salad & serve your dish

Just before serving, to the bowl of dressing, add the chopped lettuce, chopped peppers, chopped artichokes, and almonds. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked sandwiches with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
