4 servings

60 minutes

Onion soup with goat cheese meringue is a gastronomic fantasy that combines the traditions of French cuisine with playful notes of modern culinary art. The delicate, aromatic broth envelops caramelized onions, fully revealing their sweet flavor. The addition of white wine gives the dish an elegant acidity, while the airy goat cheese meringue provides a refined finish that contrasts with the rich base. This dish not only warms and comforts but also surprises with the combination of crispy baguettes gently sinking into the silky texture of the soup. It is best served hot when the aromas of onion and wine are fully released and the meringue gently melts, blending its creamy tones with the depth of flavor.
