Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Cook onions in a
12" nonstick skillet over high heat, stirring
constantly, until soft and caramelized,
about 15 minutes. Add butter and toss
onions to coat. Remove pan from heat
and stir in Calvados. Return pan to heat
and continue cooking until Calvados is
absorbed, about 30 seconds. Add stock
and bring to a simmer. Simmer until soup
is reduced to 4 cups, about 5 minutes.
Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

Place ramekins on a rimmed baking
sheet. Divide soup among ramekins. Top
each ramekin with 1-2 slices of bread.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over each. Transfer
baking sheet with ramekins to oven and
bake until cheese is bubbly and browned
in spots, about 4 minutes.
