Well yesterday 
Started with baking a loaf of Sourdough. You can see that loaf
https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/comment/2377909#Comment_2377909
Then began breaking down some onions...around 8 Vidalia in all.
Using the same CI DO as I used on the bread I used the induction burner. Started with a knob of Kerrygold butter and some neutral oil (EVOO is fine). Add in the onions with some aromatics (thyme, sage, etc) & a punch of kosher salt (DO NOT OVER SALT). Begin on medium heat to soften up the onions.
Then turn up the heat to brown the onions. Not caramelizing but, Browning them. I followed Julia Childs aka The Original French Chef. Added in some Cabernet Sauvignon and let it simmer out a bit. Added in about 3T flour. Add in about 1 liter strained beef stock and simmer for about 35-45 minutes. While that is going slice and toast some of that fresh bread...it should be crusty. Used our Presto to shred two blocks of Gruyere cheese. But, this can be done using a hand shredder as well.
Get your Ramekin dishes or whatever you're going to use ready. I preheated the egg to 500 and then bumped down to 450ish. Ladle in the onion soup place your crusty bread on top and then top generously with your cheese. Bake until nice and melty...roughly about 20-45 minutes depending on the size of the Ramekin. Enjoy.
Thanks for looking.

I know it was delicious but how bad did you burn the roof of your mouth on the cheese?
Nice! -
That looks delicious. Well done. Beautiful knife handle too. What is that?

@pgprescott Lol!
I actually had a WTF did I just do?! (welcome to Florida) moment when grabbed some of cheese that fell onto the PS in attempt to save it... that cheese was definitely not cheap at all. LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL -

No joke, I’m coming to Jacksonville at Christmas. We’ll spend the majority of our time at my FIL’s place. He has a gas grill that he admits to using twice in five years.
So, naturally, I’ll be at your place at some point...Me and my extended family. We’ll bring two liters of soda, chips and napkins.
Thats cool, right?LBGE since June 2012

Man, that looks good! LOVE French onion soup! Never made any though.
A few months ago, I found a couple of these at a junk shop.
I also have a pile of ramekins if I wanted smaller portions. Best intentions, but I still haven't made the soup. Maybe this will push me over the edge!I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
