Brisket Grilled Cheese


  • Author: clarawhitmore
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Description

Stacked with smoky brisket, caramelized onions, and melty cheese between two golden, buttery slices of bread—this sandwich is comfort food turned legendary. Bold, beefy, and beautifully crisped, it’s a grilled cheese worth savoring.

 


Ingredients

Scale

2 slices thick-cut sourdough or Texas toast

1 cups smoked brisket, sliced or chopped

1 cup caramelized onions (about 2 large onions, slow-cooked)

23 slices provolone or Swiss cheese

12 tbsp butter (for grilling)

Optional: BBQ sauce drizzle


Instructions

Caramelize onions: Slowly cook sliced onions in butter over medium-low heat for 30–40 mins until golden and jammy.

 

Assemble: Layer one slice of bread with cheese, brisket, caramelized onions, and more cheese. Add BBQ sauce if using. Top with second bread slice.

 

Grill: Melt butter in a skillet. Grill sandwich over medium heat 3–5 mins per side, pressing slightly, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

 

Slice & serve: Cut in half and serve hot—stack them tall if you dare!
