Gather @onion{1%kg}, @beef stock{1.2%l}, @white wine{150%ml}, @all-purpose flour{1%tbsp}, @gruyère cheese{150%g}, @fresh thyme{3%stalk} and @black pepper{}.

Melt the @butter{50%g} in a heavy pot and cook the onions with a pinch of @salt{} over medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes, until deep mahogany — 40 to 45 minutes. ~{45%minutes}

Stir in the flour for 1 minute, then deglaze with the wine, scraping up every brown bit.

Add the stock, @bay leaf{1%leaf} and thyme, and simmer 20 minutes. Season boldly. ~{20%minutes}

Meanwhile toast the @baguette{8%slice} slices and rub them with the @garlic{1%clove} clove.

Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, float the toasts on top, and bury them in grated gruyère.

Broil until the cheese is bubbling and bronzed at the edges, 3–4 minutes, and serve dangerously hot. ~{4%minutes}
