Experts say the best grilled cheese comes from a Gouda–Havarti blend: Havarti melts to a creamy texture while Gouda adds sweet, nutty depth, with optional add-ins like caramelized onions, whole-grain mustard, or sautéed apple; use sourdough or white bread and let the sandwich rest briefly before eating to keep the cheese from sliding apart.
Caramelizing onions can transform their flavor from sharp to sweet and complex, but it's important to avoid common mistakes. Choosing the right type of onion, using low heat, slicing onions evenly, deglazing the pan, and being patient are crucial for successful caramelization. Adding salt and sugar, using the right skillet, and avoiding stirring too often are also important factors to consider when caramelizing onions.
This recipe for a cheesy caramelized onion tart combines the rich, buttery, and sweet flavors of caramelized onions with Swiss cheese, Parmesan, and chives.
