Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For onion marmalade: melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, stirring well to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until onions have softened and browned (10-15 minutes). Add vinegar and wine, Cook uncovered until most of the liquid has diminished and the onions are sticky (about 5-10 minutes). Remove from heat.
  2. For sandwiches, spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread for grilling. Begin assembling sandwich with mustard on the inside of the sandwich with onion marmalade, pastrami and cheese. Place remaining slice on top and on a large skillet, fry over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes and flip sandwich to grill the other side for another 2 minutes or until cheese has melted and bread is golden brown. Slice and serve immediately.
