Ingredients
Use an ordinary white onion instead of a red one, if you prefer.
- 1tbsp olive oil
- Small knob of butter
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp caster sugar
- Few drops of balsamic vinegar (optional)
- 2 thick slices crusty farmhouse loaf or ciabatta bread
- 100g (4oz) Cheshire cheese, cut into slices (don't worry if they crumble)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the butter and onion. Cook over a medium-low heat, stirring often, for a few mins. Add the apple slices and cook until softened.
- Sprinkle in the sugar and cook until the onion and apple turn a rich, golden brown. Remove from the heat and stir in a few drops of balsamic vinegar (if using).
- Preheat the grill to high. Toast the slices of farmhouse loaf or ciabatta bread on one side only. Heap the onion and apple mixture onto the untoasted sides.
- Top with the Cheshire cheese and a sprig or two of rosemary or thyme. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Toast under the grill for a few moments until the cheese starts to melt and bubble. Serve at once.
