Mon AMi Gabi French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup au Gratin

Serving Size: 4

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds yellow onions, julienned
1 garlic clove, sliced into small slivers
¼ cup butter, melted
½ bay leaf
2 fluid oz. white wine
4 cups chicken stock
4 cups beef broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INGREDIENTS FOR SERVING:
12 toasted baguette slices, cut ½-inch-thick croutons, 3 each per bowl
4 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated per bowl, 1 oz per bowl
4 ounces Jarlsberg cheese, grated per bowl 1 oz per bowl

METHOD:
1. Cut the yellow onions into julienne strips.
2. Slice the garlic clove into small slivers. To sliver garlic, rest a paring knife at a slight angle against the peeled clove and use a gentle rocking motion to slice the clove into several slices.
3. In a heavy bottom sauce pot with melted butter, sauté together the julienned yellow onion and sliced garlic clove with the ½ bay leaf. Caramelize slowly over medium heat to develop flavor, approximately 20 minutes.
4. Add in the white wine and reduce for 5 minutes.
5. Add chicken and beef stock. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid is deeply flavored and slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7. Place crocks on a sheet pan. Ladle 10 ounces of soup into each of the crocks (or oven proof bowls).
8. Top each soup with 3 slices of toasted baguette and a generous amount of grated Gruyere and Jarlsberg cheese on top of bread.
9. Place the onion soup crocks under the broiler until the cheese is brown and begins to bubble.
