Ingredients

5 tbsp Salted butter (2 tbsp for cooking the shallots; use the remainder to butter the bread and grease the pan)
1.5 tbsp Olive oil (Source gives 1–2 tbsp; midpoint used)
2 Echalion shallots (Sliced)
0.25 Apple (Diced)
1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
3 leaves Fresh sage (Chopped)
Salt (One big pinch)
Black pepper (One big pinch)
0.125 cup Red wine
0.25 cup Beef stock
4 slices Sourdough or white bread (Source gives sourdough or white bread)
4 slices Mozzarella
4 slices Extra mature cheddar
1 tbsp Water (Optional; add to the pan with the lid on if needed to help melt the cheese)

Steps

1
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil.
2
Add the sliced shallots and diced apple. Sweat for about 5 minutes, until they are starting to soften.
3
Add the balsamic glaze, chopped sage, salt, black pepper, red wine, and beef stock.
4
Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, until the shallots are caramelised and sticky and the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat.
5
Butter both sides of all the bread slices with the remaining butter.
6
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add about 1 teaspoon of butter to grease the pan, then place two bread slices in it.
7
Divide half of the shallot mixture between the two bread slices in the pan. Add 2 slices of mozzarella and 2 slices of cheddar to each.
8
Top each with a second buttered bread slice and cover the pan with a lid.
9
Fry for about 2 minutes, until the undersides are golden.
10
Flip the toasties and fry for a further couple of minutes with the lid on, until golden and the cheese is melted. If the cheese needs help melting, add about 1 tablespoon of water to the pan and cover it to create steam.
11
Slice the toasties and serve.

Notes

The source recommends frying rather than using a grill. It does not specify the weight of each bread or cheese slice; nutrition and gram estimates use typical slice weights.
