A French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese Sandwich didn’t seem quite as crazy as my Spaghetti & Meatball Grilled Cheese Sandwich last week.  Boy did I catch some flack for that one from the healthy-eating police. 

So let me get this out of the way right up front…I do not encourage my readers to eat French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for every meal.  Just when you have a craving for caramelized onions, smothered with melty Gruyere cheese, sandwiched between a fresh bakery onion roll, and grilled into goodness.  And only then.

It’s Monday.  Honestly I did not have a What’s for Dinner plan until leaving work at 5:30 pm.  Salmon is always a favorite go-to protein for us and readily available.  It’s the “if all else fails, we can always have Salmon” and we know it will be a good meal.  I recently tried something new with Salmon ~ Salmon Meatballs.  They were so moist and flavorful and pop in your mouth get me another good that we had to revisit that recipe.

While we don’t eat a lot of bread, these soft onion rolls were fresh from the bakery oven and I’m a sucker for food that speaks to me through smell.  Mmmmm….. they were a great choice for this burger.
