Recipe - Toasted Gruyere Golden Onion And Apple Sandwiches

1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 pound Onions; cut or sliced up thin
2 teaspoon Chopped fresh rosemary
leaves or One fourth teaspoon
dried; crumbled
2 teaspoon Whitewine vinegar
4 Oval slices rye bread
One half Granny Smith apple
One fourth pound Thinly cut or sliced up Gruyère
cheese; (use a cheese plane
if possible)

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

In a 10inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not

smoking and cook onions with rosemary, stirring occasionally, until golden,
about 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste and cook
until vinegar evaporates. Cool onion mixture.

Preheat broiler.

On a baking sheet toast both sides of bread about 3 inches from heat until
golden. Core apple with a melonball cutter and cut crosswise into very
thin slices. Divide onion mixture among toasts, spreading evenly, and cover
with overlapping apple slices. Cover apple slices with Gruyère and broil
sandwiches until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 1 minute.
