Why You’ll Love French Onion Bread
This bread is EPIC. It’s cheesy, spicy and tastes just like french onion soup. It truly is amazing. They are super easy to make, and they are the perfect appetizer. I like to make these when I’m hosting a dinner party, and they are always the star.
How To Prepare French Onion Bread
🧅 First, add the olive oil to a preheated pan, add in onions and sauté every 2-3 minutes for 20 minutes. Then, add in sugar and salt. Continue caramelizing another 20 minutes. Deglaze with Tamari.
🧈 Secondly, add the butter to a bowl, top with the onions, parsley, Parmigiano, salt and pepper. Mix well.
🥖 Then, spread the butter onto the baguette halves, you’ll have leftover butter. Save it in the fridge for 5 days.
🧀 Lastly, add gruyere to the baguette and bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes until all toasty and melty. Top with crushed red peppers and pepper.
Substitutions and Variations
- I top mine with crushed red peppers, but if you aren’t a fan of spicy, you can leave those out.
- You can use your bread of choice, but I do highly recommend using baguette.
- You can use any cheese of choice instead of gruyere.
Chef Nadia’s Tip
Don’t rush the caramelizing of the onions. Yes, they take time, but it’s 100% worth it!
