How to Make Apple Gruyere French Toast With Red Onion

1. Carefully cut a pocket into the bottom crust of each bread slice, about halfway through, keeping the top crust intact.
2. Fill each pocket with half of the shredded Gruyere cheese and a few thin slices of caramelized red onion.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
4. Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
5. Let the bread soak in the custard for about 2 minutes per side, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
7. Arrange half of the thinly sliced apples in a single layer in the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until slightly softened.
8. Place the soaked bread slices on top of the apples.
9. Cover the bread with the remaining apple slices.
10. Cook for 1 minute, then cover the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes.
11. Remove the lid, increase heat back to medium, and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
12. Carefully flip the French toast and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
