Instructions

  1. 1 Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir onions, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in hot butter until onions are soft and brown, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Pour in red wine and sherry; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until you can no longer smell alcohol cooking off, about 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. 4 Sprinkle onion mixture with flour and stir until coated; cook for 10 minutes. Pour in broth, stir to blend in flour, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
  5. 5 While soup is simmering, arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake baguette slices in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes, flipping slices halfway through baking. Set aside.
  6. 6 Set an oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  7. 7 Ladle soup into 6 oven-proof crocks, filling them about 3/4 full. Place 1 or 2 toasted baguette slices over each soup serving, then top each with a Swiss cheese and provolone slice. Carefully place filled crocks onto a sturdy baking sheet.
  8. 8 Cook soup under the preheated broiler until cheese is browned and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slip the egg into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, then place onto a warm plate.
  3. 3 Divide the romaine lettuce evenly over four plates, and sprinkle with garlic. Top each salad with tomatoes, onion, bacon, and a poached egg.
  4. 4 Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, herbes de Provence, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Spoon the dressing over the salad, or serve on the side.

Instructions

  1. 1 Stir garlic into the olive oil and set aside.
  2. 2 Partially hollow out the bread by pulling out about 50% of the insides. Brush the bread very generously with the garlic olive oil, reserving about 1 tablespoon for later use.
  3. 3 Begin building the sandwich by placing a layer of sliced tomatoes on the bottom half, covering it completely. Season with salt and pepper. Top with sliced onion, olives, and banana peppers.
  4. 4 Crumble the tuna over the top, pressing down slightly so it stays in place. Be sure to go as close to the edges as possible. Top with anchovy filets, capers, sliced eggs, and basil leaves. Top with another layer of tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with vinegar and reserved garlic olive oil.
  5. 5 Place the top half of the loaf on and press firmly to compress the ingredients. Wrap in several layers of plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil, ending with seams at the top.
  6. 6 Place into a large pan and place a sheet pan over the top. Weigh down with heavy cans, pots, a cast iron pan, or a cutting board, to press the sandwich as evenly as possible.
  7. 7 Place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or up to overnight, turning halfway through if possible. Unwrap, slice, and serve.
