Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.5 medium yellow onions sliced
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon sherry
- 1 lb gruyere cheese cut into ½ inch cubes
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
- 1 baguette warmed
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt and stir frequently for 10 minutes, or until onions are softened and just begin to caramelize.
- Turn the heat down to low. Add the sherry to the onions and stir to coat the onions. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, or until onions are caramelized, stirring every couple of minutes and checking to make sure the onions are not burning.
- Take the onions off the heat. Evenly disperse the gruyere, garlic, and thyme on top of the onions. Broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately with a warmed baguette.
