Ham and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese Sandwiches


Who doesn't like a grilled cheese sandwich? However, grilled cheese if often known for being a very bad for you. This sandwich is significantly lightened up and the onions and hame make it a little more grown up. The result is a slightly sweet, but very tasty, lunch. This sandwich would go great with a salad and some fresh fruit.
