Pasjoli's Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Croque Matthieu)

LA Times  

This buttery, toasty, crispy, melty grilled cheese sandwich — it might be the best grilled cheese you ever make — features layers of nutty Gruyère, caramelized onions, thinly sliced cured ham and creamy Mornay sauce. The onions are slowly, slowly caramelized and can take up to several hours, stirring every 15 minutes, to attain their deepest flavor. At his restaurant Pasjoli, chef Dave Beran says the pot of onions is started in the morning and anyone who walks by it during the day gives it a stir. Named after former Pasjoli chef de cuisine Matthew Kim, Dave Beran melts the Gruyère in a pan to create a crust on the surface of the bread that serves as a crackly cheesy layer.
