When the underside is golden brown, flip over the bread. Spread a little bit of dijon mustard, add some caramelized onion, and spinkle your desired amount of cheese on each piece of bread.

Cook both sides of the sandwich until they reach a golden brown color if they haven't already. Then, plate the sandwich, cut into two halves, and serve. Enjoy! <3
