Indulge in the rich flavors of bourbon caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and smoked gouda cheese perfectly grilled between slices of bread.

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
• 4 slices smoked gouda cheese
• 8 slices bread
• Butter, for spreading

Instructions:

While the pan is on medium heat, cook the onions in slices until they start to turn brown, about 10 to 15 minutes

After the onions have turned brown, add the brown sugar and bourbon

Cook for another two to three minutes, or until the bourbon is gone

Put away

Warm up a skillet or a panini press over medium heat

Each piece of bread should have butter on one side

Cover half of the bread slices with smoked gouda cheese, caramelized onions, and bacon

Place these on the side that hasn't been buttered

Place the last few slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out

Put the sandwiches on a panini press or skillet that has been heated up

Cook for about 34 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts

Take it off the heat, cut it up if you want, and serve it hot
