French Onion Bake

1 loaf French bread, cut into ½” slices

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded swiss cheese

1 envelope onion soup mix, prepared according to package directions from a 2.75 ounce box

Swiss cheese slices

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Arrange bread slices on baking sheets and bake 5 minutes per side until dry and golden brown.

Reduce the oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a 9x 13 baking dish with oil, arrange half bread slices in a single layer over the bottom of the baking dish.  Sprinkle with cheese and top with remaining bread slices.  Pour the prepared onion soup over the bread and lay cheese on top.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until bread has absorbed most of the soup and the cheese is golden brown.
