Mature Cheddar and Fig Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

Caramelized Onions

2 medium yellow onions, minced
45 ml (3 tbsp) canola oil
60 ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
15 ml (1 tbsp) maple syrup

Grilled cheese

15 ml (1 tbsp) softened butter
4 slices of white bread
15 ml (1 tbsp) fig jam
4 slices of Cathedral City Mature Cheddar Cheese slices

Directions

Caramelized Onions

In a pot, caramelize the onions in oil for 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.
Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture is syrupy. Add pepper to taste.

Grilled Cheese

Spread half the butter on one side of a slice of bread. Top the unbuttered side with fig jam, caramelized onions, and two slices of Cathedral City Mature Cheddar cheese.
Place the pieces of bread together and butter the outsides.
In a non-stick pan, cook the sandwich over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until golden, then flip it over.
Lightly press the top to flatten slightly. Cook until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
Let grilled cheese rest for 2 minutes. Cut in half diagonally and serve.
