Instructions

    CARAMELIZED ONIONS WITH RUM

    • Heat butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over high. Stir in light brown sugar and salt. Add onions and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and release some moisture, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are deeply browned, about 40 minutes. Add rum and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
    • Remove from heat, then stir in thyme and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    SANDWICH

    • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
    • Spread a thin layer of mascarpone on 1 side of each bread slice. Place 1 slice in skillet, mascarpone side down, and top with 2 strips of Italico cheese. Add beef brisket, caramelized onions, bacon, and remaining cheese. Top with second slice of bread, mascarpone side up.
    • Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Serve warm.
