Sausage Melts

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 lb ground sausage
• 4 slices rye bread, 1/4 inch thick
• dijon mustard, to taste
• 4 slices swiss cheese (to taste)

Recipe

• 1 peel and slice onion into thin rounds (or half rounds)and cook in olive oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are very soft.
• 2 meanwhile, form sausage meat into 4 thin patties. try to form them so that they are slightly bigger than the bread slices since they will shrink when you cook them.
• 3 when the onions are soft add the brown sugar and the vinegar. stir and cook until the onions are browned.
• 4 fry sausage patties in a pan (use a little extra oil if your pan isn't non-stick) for about 3 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through or to your desired doneness (we like them very brown).
• 5 meanwhile, spread dijon mustard on each slice of bread in desired amounts.
• 6 top each slice of bread with a cooked sausage patty, then the onions, then the cheese.
• 7 place under the broiler (set to low so it won't cook too fast or burn) until cheese is melted and bubbling.
