Ingredients

• 4 slices Rye bread
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 tablespoons Spicy brown mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings.

Step 2

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add olive oil to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of spicy brown mustard on one side of each rye bread slice.

Step 5

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each of the mustard-covered bread slices.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the caramelized onions onto two of the cheese-covered slices, then sprinkle with fresh dill.

Step 7

Top the onion layers with the remaining cheese-covered bread slices, mustard side facing down, to form two sandwiches.

Step 8

Heat a clean skillet or pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil if desired.

Step 9

Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your New Yorker Onion Sandwich with a tangy pickle or a side salad for the full deli experience!
