3 Tbs butter


1 large bayleaf


salt %26amp; fresh black pepper


1/2 cup good red wine


4 slices of good stale bread or baguette


1 cup (or more) grated cheese such as swiss, gruyere, or other flavorful swiss type cheese





In a large dutch oven or large, heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and saute until onions are tender and light brown from carmelization (if onions aren't carmelizing, you can add a Tbsp of sugar to help get them started). Add 1/2 tsp salt and a good pinch of black pepper. Pour in wine and scrape down sides and bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Add stock and bayleaf and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 10-15 minutes. Divide among bowls, top with a slice of bread and grated cheese, and place on a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet in a hot oven (450F) or under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
