Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Bread

This sweet potato bread, loaded with lots of deeply caramelized onions, is super moist and flavorful. 

This bread is from the book Deep Run Roots by Vivian Howard. It is the bread that she uses for her Elbow Lick Sandwich, which includes smoked corn mayo, pickled red onions, and fresh tomato slices. I can't wait to make the sandwich.

Gruyere, Caramelized Onions, and Watercress Buns

I'm pretty thrilled with these savory vegetable buns with Gruyere, caramelized onions, and watercress.

First, Gruyere cheese is a wonderful thing. It's a hard cheese with a fairly mild flavor, and is totally amazing when melted. Then, how can you resist caramelized onions? Combined with the Gruyere, it's kind of like French onion soup in a roll. I added a handful of watercress for its peppery flavor. These were very tasty.
