Who doesn't love Gruyere cheese, bacon, and the sweetness of caramelized onions? Put them together and you have one kickin' spread that your guests will never forget! This is a simple dish that may be prepared in advance and baked a few minutes before your guests arrive. If you cannot find the Gruyere, you may substitute with Fontina or even Swiss cheese. Gruyere is a creamy and savory cheese with a distinctive but not over powering flavor. Fresh gruyere will have a slightly nutty flavor and aged will taste a bit sharper.
