1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425*.
2. 2
   Place both slices of bread on a cookie sheet.
3. 3
   On one, spread garlic herb cheese, sprinkle with cheddar.
4. 4
   On the other slice, layer ham, caramelized onion and top with italian cheese blend.
5. 5
   Leave sandsich open.
6. 6
   Bake in oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese begins to bubble and all ingredients are heated through.
7. 7
   *You could also use a panini press or do this sandwich grilled-cheese style.
8. 8
   Just butter the outsides of bread or brush with olive oil.
9. 9
   If doing in a skillet on the stovetop, I typically cook over med or med-low heat and put a lid over the sandwich so that everything gets heated and melty before the bread over-browns.

    Note: I used caramelized onions I'd made earlier by very thinly slicing 1/2 of a sweet maui onion and sauteeing in butter til brown, then added 1/8 t kosher salt and black pepper and 1 T brown sugar til glazed.
