Think of these as the best part of French onion soup minus the broth. This is a recipe I found on Gourmet.com and was posted by Maggie Ruggiero

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h

Yield 36 Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 baguette, sliced 1/4-inch thick (36 slices)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, large chopped (about 4 cups)
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/4 cup white wine (I used cream sherry)
1 1/2 cups gruyere, finely shredded (about 3 oz)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F with rack in middle.
  • Arrange slices on a large baking sheet and bake in oven until golden, about 6-8 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until butter is melted, then cook onion, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Uncover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, about 10 to 15 minutes more. Add wine and cook until entirely evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard garlic clove, bay leaf, and thyme. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Arrange toasts on a large baking sheet, then top each with a rounded teaspoon of caramelized onions and sprinkle generously with shredded Gruyere. Broil 3- to 4-inches from heat until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes (watch carefully).
  • Steps that can be done ahead of time:.
  • Onions can be caramelized 3-5 days ahead and kept chilled.
  • Bread slices can be toasted and cheese shredded 1-2 days ahead. Keep toasts in an airtight container at room temperature and keep cheese chilled.

The French onion bites were a bit too salty for my taste, but they were still good.
