2 slices of bacon, finely chopped
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp honey
2 tsp oyster sauce
8 slices bread
1 1/4 cups chopped cilantro
1/2 cup grated white cheddar
1 tbsp butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp granulated sugar
397-g pkg Campari tomatoes, cut into wedges
HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add bacon. Cook for 2 min, then add sweet onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is brown and soft, 8 to 10 min. Stir in honey and oyster sauce. Cook for 12 min, then remove from heat.
SPREAD onion mixture over 4 slices bread. Sprinkle 1 cup chopped cilantro, then white cheddar over onion. Sandwich with 4 more slices bread. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich. Wipe pan clean, then return to stove top over medium. Cook sandwiches until bread is golden, 2 to 3 min per side. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally .
