1 tbs. olive oil
1 lb. onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tbs. dark brown sugar, packed
6
Applegate Farms Organic Sausages
(your choice)
8 slices sandwich bread (any kind)
4 tsp. Dijon mustard
6 tbs. butter, softened
8 oz
Applegate Farms Sliced Cheese
(your choice)
- Heat oil in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in vinegar and sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until onions are soft and dark brown, about 20 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead. Hold at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
- Preheat broiler. Brush large metal baking pan with oil. Place sliced sausages in pan. Broil until sausages are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Sausages may also be grilled over medium-high heat.
- To assemble sandwiches, place 4 slices of bread on work surface. Top each slice with one ounce of cheese.
- Place 3 sausage halves on each slice, and spread 1 teaspoon of mustard on top of sausages. Top sausages with caramelized onions, dividing equally. Cover with remaining cheese slices, dividing equally. Finish with remaining 4 bread slices. Spread half of butter over upper bread slices.
- Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, or electric griddle on medium. Carefully invert sandwiches, buttered side down, onto skillet or griddle. Cook until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes. Spread remaining butter over upper bread slices. Turn sandwiches, and cook until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes longer.
