Everything Bagel Grilled Cheese with Fried Onions

Two of my favourite lunch foods are grilled cheese (all the different grilled cheese recipes on the blog probably gave that away already!) and everything bagels. Usually I use the everything bagels to make tomato sandwiches but today I decided to try something a little different and turn my bagel into a grilled cheese.

​

I started by frying up some diced onions and then I buttered the cut sides of the bagel. I buttered the cut sides because I decided to turn the bagel inside out for the grilled cheese so that all the seeds wouldn't fall off. I used marble cheese slices but you could use whatever cheese you like.

​

This grilled cheese turned out great. The bagel gets nicely toasted and the cheese perfectly melted. The everything bagel seasonings really add flavour to the sandwich.
