Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 baguette, sliced
Cooking Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the onions for even cooking.
- Be patient when caramelizing the onions - it can take up to 45 minutes to get them perfectly golden brown.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the onions from sticking and burning.
- Don't skimp on the cheese - the combination of Gruyere and Parmesan is what makes this dish so delicious!
Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until they start to soften.
2. Add the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and garlic powder to the pan and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the onions, stirring occasionally, for another 30-40 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of the caramelized onions and a sprinkle of Gruyere and Parmesan cheese.
5. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
