Edna was my mother in law's mother who passed away in the 70s. This recipe is very dog eared and stained, so I assume it was well loved! I'm amused that someone in the family (later) added instructions for doing it in the microwave as well! The directions are somewhat idiosyncratic - I've transcribed them as they were written down on the recipe card. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter |
4 medium onions, sliced |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed chicken broth |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed beef broth |
1 1/3 cups hot water |
4 slices french bread |
2 cups swiss cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Put butter and onions in 2 quart cassarole [sic] and bake in oven until soft, stirring once. 2. Combine can of beef broth, can of chicken broth, and hot water in sauce pan. 3. Add onions and butter and bring to a boil. 4. Divide between 4 big mugs that are safe in the oven. 5. Top each mug with one slice of French bread and 1/4 of each of the cheeses. 6. Broil until cheeses are melty. 7. ADDED LATER - To do it in the microwave:. 8. Put butter and onions in 2 quart cassarole [sic] and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, stirring once. 9. Combine chicken broth, beef broth, and hot water in dish. 10. Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes until hot. 11. Top top each of 4 servings with slice of French bread and 1/4 of each cheese. 12. Microwave on high for 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 minutes until cheese melts. |
