This is the ultimate comfort food!

  • 3lb onions, peeled and sliced thin

  • 1 1/2 cup white wine

  • 6 cups beef stock

  • bay leaf

  • fresh thyme

  • baguette cut into large rounds

  • Gruyere or Swiss cheese to top


Sauté the onions slowly with oil and butter, then season with salt & pepper and spoonful of sugar — cook slowly 30 - 45 min.

Once the onions are soft and caramelized, deglaze with the white wine. Continue to cook to evaporate. Add beef stock, bay leaf, and a sprig of thyme. Simmer 30 -40 minutes. Ladle into deep bowls and then top with a slice or 2 of toasted baguette and a generous handful of Gruyere or Swiss. Pop under the broiler until melted and bubbly and brown.
