Directions:
Place a heavy pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.

Turn the heat down to low, then cook for another 30 minutes or until the onions caramelize.
Add garlic and saute until aromatic.
Add the sherry and scrape the bottom to get the brown bits.

Fill the soup crocks with the onion soup, then top each with bread.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp of the cheese mixture on top of each bread.
Arrange the bowls onto a baking sheet.
Place them inside the oven and bake until the top turns brown.
Serve and enjoy!
