How to Make French Onion Soup Bites
- Heat olive oil and unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced yellow onions and sauté for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- Pour in sherry or red wine vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits. Then add in the beef broth, allowing it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Unroll the crescent rolls onto a floured surface. Cut them into equal squares.
- Place a spoonful of the caramelized onion mixture onto each dough square. Top with grated Gruyère cheese and fold the dough over to encase the filling.
- Arrange the assembled bites on a baking sheet and pop them into a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffy.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme.
Notes
These bites are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Optional: Serve with a side of marinara or aioli for dipping.
