Directions
Spread butter on both sides of baguette slices, using 2 Tbsp. Place in a large rimmed nonstick baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden, turning bread slices halfway through; set aside.
Place oven rack 6 in. from heat. Preheat broiler to HIGH. Top toasted slices with 1 cup cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown; set aside.
Meanwhile, melt remaining 3 Tbsp. butter in a 6-qt. Dutch oven. Add onions; cook over medium to medium-low heat for 20 to 30 minutes or until onions begin to soften and turn brown, stirring often. Add 2 Tbsp. thyme and pepper; cook for 20 to 30 minutes more or until onions are caramelized and golden brown, stirring often. Stir in flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl; set aside.
