Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 tbsp grapeseed oil , or other neutral oil, divided
2 cups chopped white onions
1 cup (packed) thinly sliced leeks (about 2 small; white and pale green parts only)
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 oz smoked spanish chorizo, cut into 1/16-inch-thick -rounds
3 cups coarsely grated petit basque cheese or gruyere cheese
grilled sourdough bread slices

Directions:

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until deep golden brown, stirring often and adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup water; cover and cook until leeks are tender, stirring often and adding more water by tablespoonfuls to moisten as needed, 10 to 15 minutes. Add wine; cook uncovered until leeks are very soft, about 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine onions and leeks in small bowl.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Divide onion-leek mixture among 4 small gratin dishes. Top mixture in each dish with chorizo slices, then cheese.
Bake until cheese melts and bubbles, about 15 minutes. Serve hot with grilled bread.
