Gourmet Grilled Cheese
With Spicy Salami, Caramelized Onions,
& Mushrooms

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Grill Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 loaf of texas style bread (approx 12 slices)
• 1 cup of softened butter
• 2 slices of cheese per sandwich (12 to 16 slices of cheese) I prefer an old cheddar and herbed havarti mix, but you could also go for swiss, gouda, and even mozzarella
• 12 slices of salami
• 1 very large or 2 medium onions, sliced into small rings
• 12 to 14 mushrooms, washed and sliced
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Begin by sautéing your onions and mushrooms with 1 to 2 tbsp. of the softened butter in separate frying pans, or use your Napoleon Cast Iron Griddle. Remember to take it low and slow with the onions especially, you want them sweet, not burned. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

2. While you're waiting for the onions and mushrooms, butter the bread on the outsides with the remaining softened butter.
3. Heat the grill to low flame, and make sure that the grids are clean. You will be grilling over direct heat.
4. When the onions and mushrooms are ready, place two slices of bread, butter side down, directly on the grill over the flames. Place a slice of cheese on one slice of bread, followed by a slice of salami, the mushrooms, onions and another slice of cheese. Allow the bread to cook for a little by doing this for the rest of the sandwiches you are making.

5. Place the empty peice of bread on top of the cheese piled bread and let your grilled cheese grill for a minute or two more. Flip the sandwich to get a perfect golden brown on the other side and allow the cheese to melt entirely.
6. Serve your gourmet grilled cheese with some fantastic soup or a great green salad.
