Servings: persons

1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons clarified butter
1 tablespoon sweet sherry
1 roll French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
6 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon stone ground mustard (grainy)
½ teaspoon finely chopped thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups grated smoked gouda cheese (or your favorite cheese will do)

1
Preheat oven to 350F
2
Saute onions, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in the clarified butter over medium high heat.
3
I like to burn the onions just barely.
4
Cook until at least golden brown.
5
Toss in sherry and scrape any caramelized onion off the bottom of the pan.
6
Set aside.
7
Spread bread pieces evenly on baking sheet.
8
Place in oven for about 7 minutes (or until they are getting crispy but not brown).
9
Then set aside to cool.
10
Whisk together the eggs, cream, mustard, thyme, remaining 2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
11
Soak bread in the egg mixture for 5 minutes (I do this in a huge ziplock bag).
12
In a casserole dish, layer bread, onions then cheese.
13
Pour remaining egg mixture over the top.
14
Bake for 35 minutes or until eggs are set.
15
I like a really firm middle, so I usually end up going 40 mins, but my oven does not cook as fast as some.
