It’s is better to make ahead of time the Caramelized onions and the baked peppers. I like the long bell peppers but you can use any type of peppers.

Top the first slice with Caramelized onions and the second one with baked peppers.

Top both slices again with more grated Gouda cheese.

Recipe Notes
- Note that I didn’t use all the peppers in the sandwich. You can eat the left over peppers as a salad or keep in the fridge for your next sandwiches.
