Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Generously butter an 8×11-inch baking dish to ensure the onions don’t stick during cooking.
- Sauté the Onions: In a skillet, melt 1/4 to 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become light golden brown and soft. Be cautious not to over-brown the onions, as you want them tender and flavorful.
- Transfer Onions: Once sautéed, transfer the onions to the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
- Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the undiluted soup with the milk or half-and-half cream, depending on your preference for richness, and mix thoroughly.
- Combine with Onions: Pour the creamy mixture over the sautéed onions in the baking dish, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese generously over the top of the onion mixture, adding a savory richness to the dish.
- Prepare the Bread Topping: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan. Dip one side of each bread slice into the melted butter, allowing them to absorb the flavor.
- Layer the Bread: Arrange about 12-14 slices of the buttered bread over the cheese layer, ensuring the buttered side is facing up for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread topping is golden brown and crispy.
