My father wasn't always in the kitchen when I was growing up, to be sure, but he did create various lovely things over the years, his wholesome stuffed french toast breakfasts being one of them. But This post is about his version of a good classic - French Onion Soup!
I remember indulging in the times when he would revisit the thought of it, playing with which cheese he liked best, which approach for the baguette he appreciated most. I fairly liked all of them, but his most successful batches came towards the end.
Now, I am sure to take from his revisitation whenever I want to make it myself. I've maded slight alterations of course, as you do, but this is all in memory of those nights when he made it for the three of us. Thanks, dad. Lovely.
(Full recipe available upon request)
So, I like my onions fairly caramelized before I do the rest of the dish, and I like my bread and cheese components to be added at the very last, crunchy individual servings of well-made baguette made soft and savory with a rich gouda, jarlsberg, or hefty parmesan. Not to mention lots of fresh black pepper, in the Caya way. Yum!
Here I made it with simple butternut squash and salad.
