One of our Instagram followers requested this and figured out a way to make a BLEized version!
Melt 2 tbsp of butter and then add 1 1/2 lb of sweet yellow onions, thinly sliced. Cook them for 30-40 minutes until we’ll caramelized.
Add 1 clove of minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute, then use 2 tbsp of beef stock to deglaze the pan.
Add in 1 tsp thyme, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Then add 3 cups of beef stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Break cauliflower into large florets and slice thinly to make small cauliflower “steaks.” Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Ladle the soup into 4 separate bowls. Place 1/4 of the cauliflower “steaks” in each and then top with 1 slice of baby Swiss. Broil on high for 3-4 minutes.
