Serves: 6
Ingredients
FOR THE ONION GRAVY:
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 2 Large Yellow Onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp. Salt, or more to taste
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 2 Shakes Worcestershire
  • ¼ cup White Wine
  • ¾ cup Beef Broth
  • ½ tsp. Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
MUSHROOM CUSTARD:
  • 1 Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 Eggs
TO ASSEMBLE:
  • 1 Baguette, toasted and chopped
  • 2 cups Gruyere or Swiss
  • 1 cup French’s Fried Onions
  • Fresh Thyme, as needed for garnish
Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter, oil, onions, and salt. Sauté for 20 minutes, or until onions have reduced and softened, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the garlic to the skillet and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Next deglaze the skillet with white wine, making sure to scrape up all of the bits on the bottom.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and cook down until it has mostly evaporated. Season with black pepper and set aside.
  4. Add the toasted baguette to a large, greased casserole dish. Crumble apart to create smaller bites and then top evenly with onion gravy.
  5. Whisk together the mushroom soup, heavy cream, and eggs and pour evenly over the baguette and gravy. Top with Swiss cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 350F for 35 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and crank the oven up to 450F. Allow the cheese to brown for 3 - 4 minutes, then remove from the oven and add the fried onions on top. Return to the oven for another 3 - 4 minutes to crisp.
  7. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of fresh Thyme. Enjoy!
