Easy Onion Soup with Bacon and Swiss Cheese Crostini Recipe Video
Recipe for Easy Onion Soup with Bacon, Swiss Cheese Crostini, Traditionally French Onion Soup is baked in individual serving bowls which are difficult to transport on a baking sheet to and from the oven. The extremely hot bowls also made it impossible to serve for family meals when my kids were very young. So I created this easy version that quickly became a family favorite. The crostini soak up the broth and are a virtual explosion of delightful flavors with every bite!
