Ingredients:
2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or white)
1 cup tomato soup (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions:
Caramelize the onions:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft, golden brown, and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the toast:
While the onions are cooking, toast the slices of bread to your desired crispness. You can do this in a toaster, under the broiler, or in a skillet with a little butter for extra flavor.
Warm the tomato soup:
Heat the tomato soup in a small pot over medium heat until it is hot and simmering. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching.
Assemble the dish:
Once the toast is ready, spoon a generous amount of tomato soup over each slice. Top with a handful of caramelized onions and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Melt the cheese:
Place the assembled toast under a broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and become bubbly. Alternatively, you can microwave the toast for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
