08of 15French Onion Grilled CheeseElizabeth LaseterOne of our favorite comfort foods—French onion soup—meets crowd-pleasing grilled cheese in a sandwich with the flavors of both dishes, minus a lot of the traditional sodium and saturated fat. Caramelized onions are the star here: their pungent, concentrated flavor means that just a touch of Gruyère is more than enough to make this sandwich sing. The other key? Shaving the cheese with a microplane, which allows the cheese to distribute its melty goodness evenly, and makes just a bit of cheese feel like a lot.View Recipe
