Drunken Cheesy Bread

By jaime_rennick

Ingredients

• Butter for the pan
• 1/2 baguette, cut into 2-inch slices
• 1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1/8 lb thinly sliced cooked ham
• 3/4 cup white wine
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups (6 oz) grated Gruyere cheese
• If you don't have Gruyere you can substitute Swiss, Monterey Jack, Fontina or White Cheddar

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the bread in a buttered ovenproof skillet, a 9-inch square baking dish, or casserole. Scatter the onion and ham over the bread. Pour the wine over the onion and ham and sprinkle with the pepper and Gruyere. Bake until the cheese has melted and begun to brown at the edges, about 20 minutes. Spoon onto individual plates.
