Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt Butter and Olive Oil over medium heat.
Add Onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes, or until deeply caramelized and golden brown. Reduce heat if onions begin to burn.
Add Beef Broth, Dry Sherry, Thyme, and Bay Leaf to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Remove Bay Leaf. Season with Salt and Black Pepper to taste.
Preheat broiler. Place French Bread slices on top of oven-safe bowls. Ladle soup over bread.
Top with Gruyere Cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
