MELT of the butter over medium heat in a skillet that is large enough to fit the bread. Assemble the sandwich by layering the caramelized onions, followed by the cheese (slightly overlapping), and topping it with the second slice of bread.
PLACE the sandwich in the melted butter and place a clean, heavy object on top of it to press the bread down. Allow the sandwich to toast on one side on medium-low heat for about five minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
FLIP the sandwich and add the rest of the butter to the pan. At this point you probably wont need to put the heavy object on top. But, if the sandwich is not compact enough go ahead and do so. Toast until the bread is golden brown, about five more minutes, serve.
