Wow! 13 Years later and we it's become a huge favorite across the extended family. ---I've edited my original rating to add the following: IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not put too many onions in at once. If you double it, then do the onions in batches. Trying to cook too many onions causes them to just sweat and steam, and they will never actually carmelize. It ruins this dish. Also, I've learned to skip the white pepper. --- I didn't have any swiss or gruyere, and I had to substitute it with muenster and parmesean combo. I only had 5oz of muenster and sprinkled fresh shredded parmesan to help a little. It turned out spectacular. My NEW favorite dish! Make sure you cook the onions on med/low and simmer them for at least 15 minutes. Also make sure the bread is a GOOD french. I used a loaf of stale "organic french loaf" from Trader Joe's. It was even better reheated. The bread was chewy and the onions sweet. (I also tried it with garlic added to the toasted french bread but it was ruined it. The garlic bread overwhelmed it.) -
