French Onion Soup Dumplings...


My favorite thing to do is to steal restaurants recipes and make them my own. Today i am going to attempt to figure out how to make  the Stanton Social's (99 stanton street NYC) signature dish- the French Onion Soup Dumpling, which may be the best appetizer i have had in a really really long time.  Not quite sure how i am going to get the soup to stay in a wonton wrapper- but i can leave you all with my delish very quick french onion soup recipe:


INGREDIENTS
Four thick slices bread ( potato/challah bread come the best-staler the better)
 1 cup dry red wine
 Two 14.5-ounce cans beef broth
 2 large sweet onions
 Mozzarella, swiss cheese or gruyere
Italian seasoning blend ( Rosemary, Tyme, Oregano)


1.    In a deep skillet, coat bottom of pan with extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, about 15 minutes.
2.    Add the wine and bring to a boil. Pour in the beef broth, lower the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes; season with pepper.
3.    Preheat the broiler. Divide the soup among 4 ovenproof bowls, then top each with potato bread one slice of cheese (I use the rimof the soup bowl to cut out bread so it fits perfectly). Set the bowls on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 1 minute.
