Restated from the original video
- 1
Peel the onions and garlic, then slice them thinly. Using a food processor or mandolin can simplify this task.
- 2
Place butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Introduce the sliced onions and garlic and cook for approximately 30 minutes until they become tender and acquire a pleasant golden hue, avoiding excessive browning.
- 3
Incorporate water, bouillon, wine, and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- 4
For the mug bread, butter a large, flat-bottomed mug or glass dish.
- 5
Combine all dry ingredients in the prepared mug using a fork or spoon. Add the egg and stir in the cream. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- 6
Cook in the microwave on high (around 700 watts) for 2 minutes. Verify if the bread is cooked through; if not, microwave for a few additional seconds.
- 7
Allow it to cool, then take it out of the mug. Cut it in half and toast the slices.
- 8
Distribute the onion soup into ovenproof bowls. Place the bread slices and shredded cheese on top. Broil at 410°F (210°C) for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
