Apple Gruyère French Toast With Red Onion Recipes

APPLE-GRUYèRE FRENCH TOAST WITH RED ONION

Steps:

• Place one slice of bread on kitchen counter, the bottom crust nearest you. Cut into bottom crust, parallel to counter, to make a pocket. Do not cut all the way to top of slice; bread should remain attached there. Tuck half the cheese and onion slices in pocket. Repeat with other slice.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour custard into a wide, shallow dish. Soak stuffed bread in custard, turning once halfway through, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the apple slices in a single layer and cook for 1 minute. Place bread slices in pan, covering apples. Arrange remaining apple slices on top of bread; cook 1 minute more.
• Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to medium; cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn bread and apples and cook until bread is golden and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve topped with fried eggs if desired.

FRENCH ONION TOASTS

Steps:

• Melt one tablespoon butter in a nonstick frying pan over low heat.
• Add the onion and cook stirring occasionally (do not burn) until tender and a golden brown (approx 15-20 minutes).
• Stir rosemary, salt and pepper into the onions and remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly butter one side of each slice of french bread.
• Place the bread, butter side down, on a baking sheet.
• Divide the onion evenly over the top of the french bread, coving as most of the surface as possible.
• Top the bread as evenly as possible with the grated cheese.
• Bake for about 10 minutes until cheese is well melted.
