Ingredients
- 4 small onions (about 4.5 cups), sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 6 prigs fresh thyme plus more for serving
- ½ loaf crusty French bread sliced into ½” thick slices
- 4 oz. shredded mozzarella
- 2 ½ oz. swiss cheese slices
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When warm, pour in the olive oil.
- When the olive oil is shimmering, add the thinly sliced onions to the pan. Season with salt, and stir continuously with a wooden spoon.
- Let the onions caramelize slowly, constantly stirring so the onions don’t burn on the bottom of the pan. This process should take 20-30 minutes, depending on the heat in your pan.
- When the onions have browned beautifully, add the beef broth a quarter cup at a time. Stir with the spoon as the onions soak up the broth. Do this three more times. Add the thyme leaves, and remove the pan from the heat.
- When the onions are cooked through, turn the oven on to its broil setting. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper, then set aside.
- As the oven preheats, slice the bread. Place the sliced bread onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the onions evenly on top of the sliced bread.
- Lay down half a Swiss cheese slice, then top with shredded mozzarella. (There’s no exact amount here – eyeball it!)
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven, and broil for 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese has browned and is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with additional thyme leaves, and enjoy!
