Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
First, caramelize the onions. On a very low heat- the lowest your hob can manage- melt the butter into a pan and stir in the onions. Leave for around 30 minutes to 1 hour (It really depends on how low your heat can go- the lower the heat, the slower they will cook. You want it as slow as possible for a good flavor and texture.)
Slice the paninis, and spread with mayo and mustard.
Add the fillings in this order: ⅔rds of the smoked cheddar, mozzarella, red onions, remaining ⅓rd of the smoked cheddar.
Seal panini and press in a grill or frying pan until the cheese is melted. You can brush the outsides with oil to get extra crispiness but it's not required.
