Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions:

- Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions turn golden brown and soft (about 20 minutes).
- Add a pinch of salt to help the onions caramelize.
- Prepare the Sandwich:
- While the onions are caramelizing, heat the bread in a toaster or grill with a little butter until crispy and golden brown.
- Optionally, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice.
- Assemble:
- Layer the roasted beef onto the bottom slice of bread.
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the meat (if using).
- Spoon the caramelized onions over the cheese and add the tangy pickle slices.
- Serve:
- Place the top slice of bread on and gently press the sandwich together.
- Slice in half and serve hot.
