Ingredients
Onions
Broth
Toppings
Preparing the Onions
1. Slice the Onions
Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin, even slices.
2. Cook the Onions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and salt. Stir to coat the onions in the fat.
3. Caramelize the Onions
Cook the onions for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. If they start to stick, you can add a small amount of water to deglaze the pot.
4. Add Sugar
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the sugar to help enhance the caramelization.
Making the Broth
5. Combine Ingredients
Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth, dry white wine, thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper to the pot.
6. Simmer the Broth
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preparing the Toppings
7. Prepare the Baguette
Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
8. Toast the Baguette
Toast the baguette slices in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, until they are lightly golden.
9. Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère and Parmesan cheese generously over the toasted baguette slices.
Assembling the Dish
12. Broil the Cheese
Place the bowls under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
13. Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
