Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel and slice the onions into thin half-rings. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot and sauté the onions covered, stirring, until soft for about 8–10 minutes. Remove the lid, increase the heat, and fry the onions until they are a deep golden color for about 7–8 minutes.

Step 2

Pour the broth and wine into the pot, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the soup for 15 minutes. Then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Grate the cheese finely. Slice the baguette into medium-thick slices and lightly toast one side in a slightly buttered skillet. Place the grated cheese on the un-toasted side of the baguette slices and put them in the oven for 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts.

Step 4

Ladle the onion soup into clay bowls, carefully place a cheese toast on top of each, ensuring it stays on the surface and does not flip over. Serve immediately.
