Preparation
- Cut onions in half, and slice thinly into half-moon shapes. In a skillet over low heat, melt butter and add onions. Cook over medium-low heat until the onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Add sherry, and salt and pepper to taste. Saute until the sherry evaporates, about 5 minutes; adjust seasonings. Remove from heat, and set aside at room temperature. (Can be made a day ahead.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush baguette slices on both sides with olive oil. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven, and rub one side of each slice with the clove of garlic.
- To serve, spread onion mixture on toasts and float them on soup.
