French Onion Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

2. 2

   Add Broth and Seasoning

   Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Baguette

   While the soup is simmering, slice the French baguette into 1-inch thick pieces. Toast them in the oven until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble and Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls, place a slice of toasted baguette on top of each bowl, and generously sprinkle Swiss cheese over the bread. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
