The simplicity of French onion soup is what makes it timeless, but it's also what makes the flavors so versatile. Inspired by this classic dish, The Cupcake Project created a French Onion Soup Pie, making for a meal that's easier to pack up and take on the go.
Made with familiar ingredients like French bread, yellow onions, eggs and heavy cream, this recipe seems to be just like the soup version. Instead of combining the ingredients and simmering them over the stove, these pies are baked in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbly. With so much cheese and flavorful warming spices, you can't possibly go wrong—especially since this sliceable dish is described as having "The texture of a bread pudding."
