Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized Red onion
• 4 slices Rustic bread
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 slices (optional) Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Peel the red onion and slice it into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.

Step 2

Toast the slices of rustic bread until golden and crisp.

Step 3

While the bread is toasting, prepare the spread by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 4

Heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Sauté the onion slices in the butter for 2-3 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread the mayonnaise-Dijon mixture evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.

Step 6

If using cheese, layer a slice of cheddar cheese on two pieces of the bread. Top the cheese with the sautéed onions, spreading them out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the onions for added freshness and flavor.

Step 8

Close each sandwich by placing the remaining slices of bread on top, spread-side facing the onions.

Step 9

Cut the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
