For the Baked French Onion

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the yellow onions thinly and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

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

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the beef broth and white wine. Add thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    While the soup simmers, slice the French bread into thick slices and toast them lightly.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top each with a slice of toasted bread, and cover generously with shredded gruyère cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
