If a grilled cheese sandwich took a summer off and toured around Europe with a Eurail pass and a backpack, it would probably come back home looking like this toasted sandwich with Italian ciabatta, Swiss cheese, and rich caramelized onion. Leave the backpacking to the college kids and bring Europe to your plate without leaving your house.
