Preparation

Step 1

Mayo:
Preheat oven to 375F. On a small, rimmed baking sheet, toss the red onion, evoo, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 mins. until the onion is very soft, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer to food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the mayo and pulse until smooth and combined.

Sandwiches:
Preheat a seasoned grill pan or griddle over medium heat. Assemble this sandwich just as you would a traditional grilled cheese sandwich: spread 1 slice of bread with some Red Onion Mayo, then top with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese, bacon, apple slices and 2 more slices of Cheddar, finishing with another mayo-slathered slice of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread and transfer to the hot grill. Grill about 3 mins. per side since sandwich is so thick. Remove to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal to serve.
