Grilled Apple, Bacon and Cheddar Sandwich with Roasted Red Onion Mayo

Grilled Apple, Bacon and Cheddar Sandwich with Roasted Red Onion Mayo Recipes courtesy Paula Deen, 2007 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 Cheddar, the bacon, the apple slices, then 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 minutes per side, since this sandwich is so thick. Remove to a cutting board and cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal to serve.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the red onion, olive oil , salt and pepper together. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion is very soft, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer to a food processor and buzz until finely chopped. Add the mayo and pulse until smooth and combined.
