Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
Thinly slice the onions.
3.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes). Reduce heat if they begin to burn.
4.
Add the beef broth, sherry (if using), thyme, and bay leaf to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper.
5.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup.
6.
Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet.
7.
Spoon the French onion soup mixture evenly onto each flatbread, leaving a small border.
8.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the soup mixture on each flatbread.
9.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flatbread is crispy.
10.
Remove from the oven and top each flatbread with prosciutto slices.
11.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
12.
Serve hot.

Chef's Tips

For a deeper flavor, use homemade beef broth.

If you don't have Gruyere, Swiss cheese can be substituted.

Crisp the flatbreads before adding the topping for an extra-crispy base.

Add a splash of balsamic glaze after cooking for a touch of sweetness.
