Onion Preparation

Method

Onion Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir to coat them in the fat. Sprinkle with salt and sugar.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Cook the onions, stirring frequently, for about 30-40 minutes until they are soft, golden brown, and caramelized. Add the thyme leaves in the last few minutes of cooking.

Soup Base

  1. 4

    Add Broth and Wine

    Once the onions are caramelized, pour in the beef broth and dry white wine. Stir to combine.

  2. 5

    Season the Soup

    Add Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes.

Toppings

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toast the baguette or crusty bread slices until they are slightly crispy.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, place a slice of toasted bread on top of each bowl, and generously sprinkle with Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
