FRENCH ONION SOUP WITH GRILLED HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH- FRENCH STYLE



French Onion Soup with Grilled Ham & Cheese Sandwich- French Style image

Just a little note. The French call this sandwich a Mr. or a Mrs. Croque Monsieur due to the fact that there is a fried egg on top of the sandwich. Fried egg is a Mrs. & no fried egg is a Mr. I prefer mine as a Mr. This is very quick to make if you prepare everything in advance. Hope you enjoy it.

When the onions are caramelize add the beef stock, bay leaf, garlic, dried thyme and bring to boil for another 20 minutes. While it comes to a boil get your bowls ready and the broiler ready. Make sure that the bowls you use are clay or even metal. NEVER USE PLASTIC!! Place the bowls on a heavy duty baking sheet lined with foil. Turn on your broiler, over 500 degrees. When the soup comes to a boil. Stir and add black pepper and salt to taste. Ladle into the prepared bowls. Heat a frying pan big enough to hold all the slices on french bread. Add the one buttered side to the hot pan. Toast till lightly brown & place on the soup in the bowls, toast side up. Add the cheese as much as you want. Repeat till all the bowls of soup are done.

The easiest way to whisk so the bowl does not move is to wet a dish towel and twist and make into a circle. Place the bowl in the middle of the circle and press down. The bowl should not move. With the oil in one hand and the whisk in another, drizzle oil into bowl and whisk at the same time to make the sauce thicken. This is a basic recipe for mayonnaise. At this point you can add anything.... wasabi, hot mustard, herbs, roasted onions, roasted garlic, horse radish, gherkins....... the list is endless.

FRENCH ONION SOUP GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-2788

Number Of Ingredients 17

WINE-BRAISED ONIONS:
1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter, for frying
2 slices of French baguette or French bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
Gruyére cheese, enough to generously cover both slices of bread
1/2 cup wine-braised onions (see recipe below)
Fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1 small clove garlic per 2 onions
Onions (cook about 3-5 at a time, as you will find many uses for leftover caramelized onions)
Olive oil
Butter
Bay leaf
Fresh thyme
Salt and fresh cracked pepper
Red or white wine
Beef stock, optional

Steps:

  • Heat grape seed oil in frying pan over medium low heat. Add butter and allow to melt. Spread each slice of French bread with softened butter. Add half the shredded cheese to one, pile braised onions on top, sprinkled with fresh thyme leaves, salt and pepper, then add the rest of the cheese. "Close" the sandwich with the other slice of bread, and gently press together. Place the sandwich in the hot pan and cook until bread is toasted brown and cheese has started to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich over in the pan and cook until the other side is toasted brown and cheese has completely melted. Remove the grilled sandwich from the pan and serve. WINE-BRAISED ONIONS: Cut the onions in half lengthwise, then slice thinly again lengthwise. For every 1 large onion, heat about 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottom pan over medium heat. Add the same amount of butter, allow to melt, then add minced garlic. Allow the garlic to soften (but not color), then add the onions. Stir to coat the garlic and onions in oil+butter, add a bay leaf and a small sprig of thyme, then turn down the heat to medium low (so onions don't burn). Continue to cook the onions until they are soft and deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes (depending on how many onions you cook). Add about ¼ cup red or white wine (doesn't matter), and allow to cook down with the onions, another 5-7 minutes. You can also add beef stock, but I didn't. Remove from heat and set aside enough onions for grilled cheese sandwich. The rest, throw into a pot and make French Onion Soup.
