Start by caramelizing the onions. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to turn golden brown, about 40-45 minutes.
Add the thyme and wine. Stir to combine and let the wine reduce for 1-2 minutes.
Now that the hard part is done you can prepare the sandwiches. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread. Place 2 slices of bread on a skillet, mayonnaise side down. Evenly divide the onions between each. Season with black pepper and sprinkle thyme on top of each. Arrange 2 slices of gruyere cheese on top of each slice of bread. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, mayonnaise side up.
Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Let the sandwiches cook for 3-4 minutes then flip and cook for 3-4 minutes on the other side. The bread should be golden brown and crispy. If the cheese isn’t entirely melted, warm the sandwiches in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Slice in half, serve, and enjoy!
