Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Onions

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

Add Broth

Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare the Bread

While the soup is simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the brioche slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Assemble the Soup

Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Place a slice of toasted brioche on top of each bowl of soup and sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese.

Melt the Cheese

Place the bowls under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the bowls from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
