Broth

Topping

Method

Preparing the Broth

1

Caramelize the Onions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

2

Add Garlic

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Simmer the Broth

Pour in the beef broth, add thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Assembling the Soup

4

Prepare the Baguette

Slice the French baguette into thick slices and toast them in the oven until golden brown.

5

Serve the Soup

Ladle the hot broth into oven-safe bowls, place a slice of toasted baguette on top, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

6

Add Puff Pastry

Cut the puff pastry into circles that fit the bowls, place on top of the cheese, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

7

Bake

Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
