Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onions
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 lb ground sausage
4 slices rye bread, 1/4 inch thick
Dijon mustard, to taste
4 slices swiss cheese ( to taste)
Directions:
Peel and slice onion into thin rounds (or half rounds)and cook in olive oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are very soft.
Meanwhile, form sausage meat into 4 thin patties. Try to form them so that they are slightly bigger than the bread slices since they will shrink when you cook them.
When the onions are soft add the brown sugar and the vinegar. Stir and cook until the onions are browned.
Fry sausage patties in a pan (use a little extra oil if your pan isn’t non-stick) for about 3 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through or to your desired doneness (we like them very brown).
Meanwhile, spread dijon mustard on each slice of bread in desired amounts.
Top each slice of bread with a cooked sausage patty, then the onions, then the cheese.
Place under the broiler (set to low so it won’t cook too fast or burn) until cheese is melted and bubbling.
