Best Grilled Cheese EVER!

This grilled cheese is outrageously good. Sinfully good. It goes great with tomato soup, but I probably didn't need to tell you that. The Havarti is super yummy and creamy and melts perfectly and the caramelized onions will rock your world.

1 onion, very thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 or 2 tbs butter
salt and pepper
About 8 slices of Havarti cheese (2 slices per sandwich)
8 slices of sour dough or other good quality white bread (again, 2 per sandwich, as if you have never made a sandwich)

Heat a pan to medium high heat. Melt the butter and add the onions. Turn down to medium low and allow the onions to cook slowly, stirring often. Do not let them burn, but do let them get a yummy, brown color (hence the "caramelized" label). When they begin to brown, add in the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Meanwhile preheat a panini grill to medium or 300 or whatever your grill does. You can also use a pan, but we will talk about that later. Lay out half the slices of bread and butter one side of the bread. Put on slice of cheese on the bread and top with the caramelized onions, one they have reached peak brown-ness, about a 1/4 c of onions per sandwich. Then lay down another slice of cheese and top with another slice of buttered bread. Put the sandwiches on the grill, more than likely you will only be able to do 2 at a time, so put the first batch in a low oven (think 200) if you are making more than that. Cook in the panini grill for about 8 minutes or until cheese is melty and bread is browned.

If you are using a pan, heat it over medium and lay down your sandwiches. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Make sure you keep a close eye on your pan or you sandwiches might burn, and nobody wants that.
