1 tablespoon butter
2 small sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons dry sherry
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded or sliced jarlsberg, gruyère or swiss cheese
4 (1/2-inch-thick) diagonally cut french bread slices

Directions:
1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes or until dark golden brown. Stir in salt and next 3 ingredients.
2. Place 1/4 cup cheese on each of 2 bread slices. Top each evenly with half of onion mixture. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining 2 bread slices.
