- 1/2 medium onion

- 2 ounces pepper jack cheese
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 4 slices rye bread

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion slices and stir continuously until cooked and soft. Remove the onions from skillet and set aside.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of whipped cream cheese on 2 of the bread slices, then add half of the grilled onions and cheese. Top with other bread slices.
