French Onion Soup Casserole

French Onion Soup Casserole Ingredients: ¼ cup unsalted butter 5 medium Sweet Florida onions, thinly sliced (about 3 lb.) 2 teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 3 thyme sprigs 2 flat-leaf parsley sprigs 2 bay leaves 1 (16-oz.) baguette, thinly sliced ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth ½ cup sherry 8 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded (about 2 cups) 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves Directions: Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-low; add onions, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley sprigs, and bay leaves; cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown, about 1 hour.

Remove and discard thyme and parsley sprigs and bay leaves from onion mixture. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add broth and sherry; bring to a boil over high. Boil, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Layer half of the toasted baguette slices in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Spoon onion mixture evenly over bread. Top evenly with remaining baguette slices. Sprinkle with cheese; cover with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Increase heat to broil. Remove foil; broil until cheese is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with thyme leaves. Recipe adapted from Southern Living
