Delicious caramelized onion, arugula and herb Grilled Cheese is light and refreshing but so satisfying.
What I love about this recipe is that it sounds fancy and complicated, but honestly, It’s as easy as pie and, in my opinion, even tastier!
Caramelized onions, arugula and herbs are a unique and tangy combo.
The sweet and deep flavors of caramelized onions perfectly complement the peppery freshness of arugula and the heavenly aroma of herbs.
