Of course! Here's a full recipe for Caramelized Onion and Gruyère Crostini, written so it’s easy to follow but also feels a little special:

Caramelized Onion and Gruyère Crostini

Ingredients:

1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing

1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for faster caramelization)

1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional but delicious)

1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded

Fresh parsley or thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crostini:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet.

Lightly brush each slice with olive oil.

Bake for 7–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside.

2. Caramelize the Onions:

In a large skillet, melt butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat.

Add the sliced onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook slowly, stirring often.

After about 10 minutes, sprinkle in the sugar if using.

Continue cooking for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are deep golden brown and very soft.

Stir in the thyme leaves and black pepper during the last few minutes of cooking.

Taste and adjust salt if needed.

3. Assemble the Crostini:

Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of caramelized onions.

Sprinkle generously with shredded Gruyère cheese.

4. Melt the Cheese:

Return the topped crostini to the oven.

Bake at 375°F for about 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.

5. Serve:

Garnish with a little fresh parsley or extra thyme if desired.

Serve warm alongside tomato soup for dipping and scooping.

Tip:

If you want an even deeper flavor, you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar or white wine to the onions near the end of caramelizing — about 1 tablespoon — and let it cook off.

Would you also like me to suggest a make-ahead version in case you're prepping this for a gathering? (It holds really well!)
