This Baked French Onion Gnocchi recipe combines the comforting flavors of French onion soup with pillowy gnocchi, baked to perfection with gooey melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade, fresh or frozen)
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian version)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, stir to coat, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized. Add a splash of water if they stick to the pan.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let it reduce for 2 minutes, then add 1 1/2 cups of beef broth, fresh thyme, and a bay leaf. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the thyme and bay leaf.
  4. Add the gnocchi directly to the skillet. Toss gently to coat in the sauce, then simmer for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Transfer the gnocchi mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle Gruyère cheese generously on top, followed by Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
  6. Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
