I've been eating these for 40 years. My girl friend in High School would make them for us. I chop the onions very small since my hubby does not like the onion on his. I like to slip just a few on all of them. It just doesn't taste the same without the onions. I've always cooked mine in the broiler oven though. I may try to cook in skillet.

Absolutely wonderful recipe. I didn't have any of the items on hand so I used what I did have. Russian rye bread, pepper bacon, red onion and Havarti cheese. My company raved about the sandwiches. Can't wait to make it with other breads and cheeses. Thank you for a great recipe.
