📝Description: 

If you love French onion soup, you're going to love this sauce! Our Caramelized Onion & Honey Gruyère Sauce combines the deep, savory sweetness of slowly caramelized onions with the rich, nutty flavor of Gruyère cheese. A little Fingerlakes Honey Company Raw Honey complements the onions, while thyme adds an earthy, aromatic finish. Creamy, cheesy, and wonderfully comforting, this sauce is delicious with warm bread, roasted potatoes, steak, and so much more. Just be warned: Once you start dipping, it might be hard to stop!

🍯Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon Fingerlakes Honey Company Raw Honey

  • ½ teaspoon Fingerlakes Honey Company Thyme

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup whole milk

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup freshly shredded Gruyère cheese

🥣Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and softened. Reduce heat if they begin to brown too quickly.

  3. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for approximately 1 minute.

  4. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.

  5. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.

  6. Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in Gruyère until melted and smooth. Avoid boiling.

  7. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

  8. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and enjoy immediately.
