Ingredients
3 lbs sliced onions (about 6-8 medium onions)2 tbsp melted butter1 tbsp granulated sugar1 tsp salt1 tsp cracked black peppercorns8 cups of Vegetable Bouillion or Vegetable Stock (good quality)2 tbsp brandy or cognac (optional)12 slices of baguette, about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick2 cups shreded Swiss or Gruyere cheese
1. In slow cooker stoneware, combine onions and butter. Stir to coat onions thoroughly. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, until onions are softened.
2. Add sugar, salt and peppercorns and stir well. Place two clean tea towels (or paper towel) each folded in half (so you have four layers) over top of stoneware to absorb the moisture. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours, stirring two or three times to ensure that onions are browning evenly, replacing towels each time. (see tips)
3. Add vegetable stock and brandy, if using. Remove towels, cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours
4. Preheat broiler. Ladle sop into ovenproof bowls. Place 2 slices baguette in each bowl. Sprinkle liberally with cheese and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until top is bubbling and brown. Serve immediately.
