Ingredients

8 slices Nature’s Own Premium Specialty 12-Grain Bread
1 sweet onion, halved, thinly sliced
2 1⁄2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Instructions

Set EGG for indirect cooking at 350°F/177°C.

Cook onion in 1⁄2 tablespoon of the butter and the oil in large nonstick skillet until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in brown sugar and cook until browned and very tender, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine cheese; mix well. Spoon and spread cheese mixture on 4 bread slices. Top with onions and remaining 4 bread slices.
