  • 1 TEASPOON Sugar
  • 400 ml Beef stock
  • 400 ml Vegetable broth
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1/2 slice Toast
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • 150 g mixed minced meat
  • 1 short tsp tomato paste
  • 20 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 30–40 g grated Gruyère cheese
  • 125 g Mozzarella cheese
  • 8 discs Baguette bread
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel the onions and cut them into half rings, except for 15-20 g. Wash the thyme, shake dry and pluck the leaves from the stems. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil and butter in a saucepan, fry the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously. Add sugar and steam for another 3-5 minutes until the onions start to brown.

  2. 2

    Pour in beef stock and vegetable broth, bay leaf and thyme, except for something to sprinkle, add and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes

  3. 3

    Finely crumble the toast with a chopping stick. Peel garlic and chop finely. Chop the remaining onion (15-20 g) finely. Knead minced meat, toast, onion, garlic, tomato paste, parmesan, salt and pepper. Form about 16 small meatballs. Heat 1-2 oil in a frying pan, fry the balls for about 4 minutes, turning them over, and take them out

  4. 4

    Dab mozzarella dry and dice finely. Mix with the Gruyère cheese. Place baguette slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spread meatballs on top. Sprinkle with cheese and gratinate under the preheated grill for 4-5 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper and arrange in deep bowls with the cheese baguettes. Sprinkle with remaining thyme leaves
