Oh! yum yum yum... It looks like we share taste in more than just Feta cheese. The toasted bread is a perfect touch... but croutons are fun if you're serving this at a dinner party (nice starter dont you think?). I'll see if I can post a baked alaska recipe for you that you dont already have :)))

Great recipe! I added a few spices to give it a bit more flavor, I thought that was kind of lacking. But I love that its not made with tons of butter! We made ours in bread bowls and put them in the broiler with some smoked swiss cheese! Great amount of onions and perfect flavor with the sherry!

It was such a pleasant surprise to find a delicious french onion soup recipe that's not laden with butter. The onions and garlic cooking in the sherry smell wonderful, and the final product tastes even better. I do normally use toasted croutons instead of whole slices of bread.
