📝 Preparation Steps
1
To the bowl of your crockpot, add the butter, onions, garlic, brown sugar and worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together, cover the crockpot and cook on low for at least ⏱️ 8 hours or up to ⏱️ 14 hours. I like cooking the onions overnight while I sleep (note that I have noticed that all crockpots cook differently, if yours seems to cook fast, check the onions at ⏱️ 8 hours in to make sure nothing is burning).

The next morning, stir the flour into the onions and then add the beer (or wine), beef broth, bay leaves, thyme and a good pinch of pepper. Cover and cook on low for ⏱️ 6-8 hours or on high for ⏱️ 3-4 hours. The longer and slower you can cook this the better. Taste and season with salt + pepper if needed.

Just before you're ready to eat, make the french toast. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parmesan and a pinch of salt + pepper.

Submerge one piece of toast at a time into the egg mixture, allowing it to sit ⏱️ 30 seconds in the eggs. Remove and allow the excess to drip off back into the bowl. Place the toast on the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about ⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining bread.

Ladle the french onion soup into oven safe ramekins or bowls. Place 1-2 pieces of toast on top of the soup and cover with cheese. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for ⏱️ 30 seconds to ⏱️ 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted. WATCH close, the broiler works quick!

Serve the soup with fresh thyme and enjoy hot, right out of the oven!
