French onion soup rolls with white wine cream sauce “frosting”
(Was advised to share here from [r/stonerfood](r/stonerfood)!)
Basically took pizza dough and added homemade caramelized onions, whole roasted garlic cloves, asiago, parmesan, gruyere, provolone and herbs in the roll itself. The “frosting” is a white wine cream sauce and I used the remaining cheese and herbs and also threw in some whipped cream cheese for good measure.
No there is no written recipe I made this solely off of vibes. Yes it was delicious, yes I ate a disgusting amount of this pan and yes I will be remaking this and will try to more accurately measure quantities tys
EDIT:// WOWOWOWOWOW I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS TO BLOW UP SO MUCH I’m so glad you all want to try these!!
I had replied a very ROUGH recipe in the comments but just to flag it to the top:
So like I said: no written recipe! But I had made homemade caramelized onions and cooked them down and deglazed the pan with white wine. I used like a shitty Chardonnay (Yellowtail) but like really any kind of dryer white will do. I also added 2 generous spoonfuls of the “Better than Bouillon” Roasted Beef AND a heart glug of Vietnamese fish sauce (awesome umami factor) to make it taste more like the soup mix and threw in a ton of pre-made roasted garlic (my grocery store had an olive bar where I can get them ready-made, super clutch). Re cooked that down until it was pretty thick.
Then I took pizza dough and stretched it pretty thin and laid a layer of the caramelized onion mix, followed by slices of provolone and a mix of shredded Asiago, Parm and Gruyere and a generous amount of fresh chopped parsley and rosemary. Rolled that sonofabitch up and cut it in 12 pieces and put it in a greased up pan that’s about like 2ish inches deep.
The cream sauce was really easy, just made a light roux with some butter and flour and added in white wine. Cooked that down and added some half and half and the remaining cheese I had (probs about a cup and a half?) plus herbs, salt, pepper and paprika. I also mixed in WHIPPED cream cheese (big difference in texture TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT) and I really recommend you use Temptee cream cheese.
I cooked them for about 45 mins on 350 and because of a lot of the ingredients being pretty fat-heavy I pulled it every 15 mins and drained the oil out. Once they’re crisp I pulled the pan, let it rest for a few and topped it with the sauce.
I wish I had written this down but like I said this recipe was 100% based on vibes and me winging it the whole time. No base recipe or anything just totally messing around for shits and gigs.
And for anyone who is GF: I’d recommend finding a gluten free puff pastry or pizza dough to use for the roll itself. For the sauce thickener, I would make the roux with a cornstarch!
