Instructions

1

Melt butter with olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add all the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until deeply golden brown and caramelized.

Tip: Real caramelized onions take time. Don't try to rush by turning up the heat. The slow, patient cooking is what creates that deep sweetness.

2

Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook 2 minutes. Add beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Toast the baguette slices in the oven at 375F for 5 minutes until crispy.

4

Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Place a crouton on top and pile with Gruyere. Broil for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Serve immediately.
