Description
Savory French Onion Soup Bites combine the rich, caramelized flavor of traditional French onion soup with a crispy crescent roll base, topped with melted Gruyère cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter (can substitute with vegan option)
- 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a milder flavor)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (can substitute with Italian seasoning or omit)
- 1 package crescent roll dough (all-purpose flour variant)
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese (can substitute with any melting cheese or vegan cheese)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until they are deeply golden and caramelized.
- Stir in the beef broth and white vinegar into the caramelized onions. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into rectangular pieces to press into each cavity of a greased mini muffin tin.
- Spoon the onion filling evenly into each dough cup. Sprinkle each bite generously with the Gruyère cheese.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake the bites for 18-20 minutes, until the dough is golden-brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the bites to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully remove each one. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve warm.
Notes
- These bites are perfect for cozy gatherings.
- Customize the cheese to your preference.
- Vegan options are available for butter and cheese.
