A delightful twist on the classic French onion bake, this recipe combines rich flavors and textures for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.
Ensure the bread slices are evenly spaced for uniform toasting.
Bake the bread slices for about 5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
Keep an eye on the bread to prevent over-toasting.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions until caramelized.
Stir the onions frequently to avoid burning and achieve a rich caramel color.
Add the thyme and beef broth to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Ensure the dish is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Layer half of the toasted bread slices in the baking dish, followed by half of the cheese.
Press the layers gently to compact them slightly.
Pour the onion soup mixture over the bread and cheese layers.
Pour slowly to ensure even distribution of the liquid.
Top with the remaining bread slices and cheese, then bake for 25 minutes.
Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Serve the bake hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors.
