# TIMEOUT COOKING “OPEN ONION SANDWICH à la onion tarte”
INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PERSONS
750 g large Spanish onions (approx. 3 onions)
Salt
4 tbsp. rapeseed oil
½ tsp. caraway seeds
1 small red apple (e.g. Elstar)
1-2 sprigs of fresh marjoram (optional)
TOMAMI Seasoning Sauce (buy here (https://tomami.eu/produkte/30/tomami-wuerzstoff/))
4-6 slices of farmhouse bread
150-200 g grated Gruyère cheese *
Freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Halve, peel and finely chop the onions; season lightly with salt. Heat the oil in a large coated pan and add the onions with the caraway seeds. Braise over medium heat for approx. 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Cut out the core from the unpeeled apple, dice and add to the onions.
Braise briefly for 2 minutes. Finely chop the marjoram and stir in. Season the onions with 4-6 dashes of TOMAMI Seasoning Sauce. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet with baking paper and spread the onions and applies on the bread slices; sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake in the hot oven for about 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted at the edges. Add pepper and serve hot.
A fresher version: A little freshly chopped thyme or rosemary would add a Mediterranean touch.
A side salad would go well with the sandwiches.
Cheese alternatives: Instead of Gruyère, you could use raclette, mountain cheese, Gouda or Cheddar. Especially delicious with Camembert!
Preparation time: 35 minutes
