15-20 minutes
10-12 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed for frying
- 1½ pounds Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- ½ cup soft goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- ½ pound apples or pears, halved, cored and thinly sliced
Directions
- On a stovetop, add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add onions and salt. Cook until creamy and golden, tossing frequently, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Add thyme and red-pepper flakes and stir for another 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the goat cheese.
- Place 4 slices of bread on the counter and divide the onion mixture among them, spreading to the edges. Layer with apple or pear slices and then top with the other bread slices and press down gently to adhere.
- Insert Grill Plates into the Flex Press Grill and begin to preheat the Grill.
- Grease the cooking surfaces with a small amount of cooking oil and add two of the sandwiches to the Grill Plate. Pull Lid closed and cook 4-5 minutes, pressing them gently to compress them as they cook until bread is toasted and deeply golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining sandwiches, re-greasing surfaces as necessary.
- Serve and enjoy this gourmet café favorite right at home!
