4 tablespoons butter |
1 onion, sliced |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
5 (10.5 ounce) cans beef consomme |
6 bay leaves |
1/2 cup white wine (optional) |
1 french baguette, cut into 1/2 inch slices |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place the onion in the butter and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the thyme and remove from heat.
