Grilled Cheese with French Onions

One of our favorite comfort foods, French onion soup meets crowd-pleasing grilled cheese in a sandwich that contains the flavors of both dishes, minus most of the traditional sodium and saturated fat. Caramelized onions are the star here: their tangy, concentrated flavor means just a touch of Gruyere is more than enough to make this sandwich sing. The other key? Shaving the cheese with the Micro Plane, which allows the melting properties of the cheese to be distributed evenly and makes one piece of cheese feel like too much.
