Heat large skillet over medium heat, add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir occasionally until the onions are soft and a deep golden brown.
NOTE: If they begin sticking to the pan or your pan starts smoking, add a splash of water to gently deglaze the pan and steam the onions. Then slightly lower the heat.
Preheat oven to [wprm-temperature value="375" unit="F"].
In a bowl combine the crumbled bacon, caramelized onions, ¾ cup of Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh thyme, onion powder, salt and black pepper (to taste).
Spread the dip into your baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Swiss cheese.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the Swiss cheese is melted and the dip is warm.
NOTE: Baking this dip for too long can cause the mayonnaise to break. A broken dip will be oily and separated.
Turn on broiler to [wprm-temperature value="450" unit="F"]. Place baguette slices onto a rack lined baking sheet. Toast for 3 to 5 minutes or until desired toasty-ness.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, serve them with the dip immediately.
