- While the brisket is cooking, caramelize diced onions in a pan until they turn golden brown.
Assembly
- Assemble your sandwiches by placing slices of brisket, Colby jack cheese, provolone cheese, fried onions, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce between two slices of sourdough bread.
Cooking
- Toast the assembled sandwiches in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Notes
Serve BBQ Brisket Melts hot, straight from the skillet, and pair with sides like pickles, coleslaw, or potato chips. For leftovers, cool completely before wrapping and store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven until crispy.
