== Directions ==
=== Sandwich ===
# Preheat a seasoned grill pan or griddle over medium heat.
# Assemble this sandwich just as you would a traditional grilled cheese sandwich: spread 1 slice of bread with some red onion mayo, then top with 2 slices cheddar, the bacon, the apple slices, then 2 more slices of cheddar, finishing with another mayo-slathered slice of bread.
# Butter the outsides of the bread and transfer to the hot grill.
# Grill about 3 minutes per side, since this sandwich is so thick.
# Remove to a cutting board and cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal to serve.
=== Roasted red onion mayo ===
# Preheat oven to 375°F.
# On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the red onion, olive oil, salt and pepper together.
# Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion is very soft, stirring occasionally.
# Remove from oven and let cool.
# Transfer to a food processor and buzz until finely chopped.
# Add the mayo and pulse until smooth and combined.
