Recipe: toast with Gruyère and red wine

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: grilled cheese with Gruyère and red wine recipe.

At the editorial office, we swear by a classic ham-cheese grilled cheese, but you definitely have to try this recipe for a grilled cheese with Gruyère and red wine at least once. Because it's delicious!

For this grilled cheese with Gruyère and red wine (preferably Cabernet Sauvignon) you also need a tablespoon of butter, half a chopped red onion, a finely chopped clove of garlic, a bit of thyme, rosemary, and a tablespoon of flour.

Here's how to make a toastie with Gruyère and red wine
Melt the butter in a pan and add the chopped red onion. After a few minutes, you can add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for a few more minutes and then add the tablespoon of flour.

Pour 180 milliliters of wine into the roux and cook until the sauce is thick enough to stick to a spoon. Taste to see if the alcohol flavor is gone.

Spread the two slices of white bread with the spread and top with the grated Gruyère. Put some butter in the pan and fry the grilled cheese until golden brown on both sides. And we don't need to tell you what to drink with it, right?
