Today's lunch toastie: cheese, meatball and caramelised onion. Pretty darn tasty. Or is it "tastie" when refering to a tasty toastie?
The onions make all the difference but when combined with cheese and a meat oh my god it’s so beautiful.
The onions freeze really well too. I have containers of caramelized onions in the freezer, and some frozen meatballs (and sometimes just cooked seasoned mince) so I just have to grab those to pair with a slice of cheese and bread for an easy lunch toastie.
Oh really? I never thought about freezing onions. How do you go about storage and using them?
I’ve got a couple of onions that probably won’t last much longer if they’re still alright but I could legit eat a bowl of caramelised onions in one go if I wanted to.
I usually cook up a big batch, and freeze them in the Decor salad dressing containers - they are about 20ml size and a good amount for a single sandwich. You would be able to freeze in ice cube trays and transfer to a bag too. They will defrost in a couple of hours, or if you have not planned in advance just defrost in the microwave.
I might see about those contains. Not quite sure I’m ready to freeze them in my ice cube tray as of yet.
Good idea though. I never thought about freezing onions.
Good lord that sounds incredible. Although my aging body has decided that heartburn/indigestion is the answer to meatballs the last few times I've had them but sometimes you just have to put your body on the line for the greater good.
Interesting. Actually, very interesting.. I will absolutely get that checked. Thank you!
