The Palmer House brownie recipe goes way back to 1898, when it was first recorded into existence at the famous Chicago hotel. Don't rely on the traditional stick test for doneness in this recipe; the brownies will continue to be gooey even after baking. For easier cutting, place glazed brownies in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours.

Make brownies: Place butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

French Onion Soup Focaccia
I've taken all the best flavors of a classic crock of French onion soup and baked them into a light and fluffy focaccia. I like to use a small Dutch oven to cook the onions so the heat is evenly distributed and none of them scorch, which can make them bitter. If the onions seem to be sticking to the bottom of the pan, simply add one or two tablespoons of water and scrape up any brown bits. I love the classic flavor of Gruyère, but you could also use shredded sharp Cheddar! Herbes de Provence let me pretend I'm enjoying this in a chic Parisian café, but dried thyme works just as well if that's what you have on hand.
