Caramelize the Onions

1

Cook the onions in butter low and slow, stirring occasionally for 40-45 minutes, adding in salt and a little bit of sugar.

Deglaze & Simmer

2

Pour in the red wine. Stir in stock, Worcestershire, and seasonings. Gently simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard herbs, stir in the vinegar.

Toast the Bread

3

While the soup is simmering, prep the bread with olive oil; toast in the oven until golden.

Ladle soup into bowls

4

Place oven-safe crocks on a sturdy baking sheet. Ladle soup into each bowl.

Top Bread with Cheese

5

Top toasted bread with cheese, then place under the broiler for a couple minutes (6-inches from the heat source, keeping a close eye, so nothing burns!)

ENJOY!

6

As the cheese softens, it will fall over the sides of the crock and form a wonderful crusty seal. Heaven!
