Baked French Onion Soup With Gruyère Pastry is a classic French dish that originated in the 18th century. It is traditionally made with caramelized onions and a beef broth that is thickened with bread and topped with a crouton and melted cheese. This recipe is a modern take on the classic dish, using puff pastry instead of bread. The result is a rich, hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter evening. The soup is best enjoyed with a glass of red wine and a crusty baguette.

2.Add the onions and garlic and cook on medium heat until caramelized.

6.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
7.Ladle the soup into oven-safe crocks and top with a slice of the gruyere cheese.
8.Cut puff pastry to fit the top of the crocks and brush with egg wash.
9.Place crocks on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
