Ingredients

Method
  • 1 x XX g jar Woolworths French onion soup
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1 cm slices
  • 4 T butter
  • 50 g Grana Padano, finely grated

Method

Ingredients
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Heat the soup according to package instructions.
  2. Place the sliced baguette on a baking tray and spread with a little butter. Sprinkle liberally with Grana Padano.
  3. Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
  4. Spoon the soup into bowls and serve with the cheesy baguette.

Cook’s note: For a less traditional twist, top the soup with Grana Padano crisps. Place small mounds of finely grated Grana Padano on a lined tray, spaced 3 cm apart, and bake at 200°C for 5–7 minutes until crisp and golden.

With its crystalline, crumbly texture and mild, delicate flavour, it’s no mystery why Grana Padano is so popular. Its consistently excellent quality is a result of each wheel being examined at nine months by an impartial technician from the official Consortium of Grana Padano. Only after it has their approval does a wheel of Grana Padano receive its iconic firebrand – your guarantee of authenticity and exceptional flavour. It's the perfect additon to Japanese salt bread giving it a luxurious taste of Italy’s absolute finest.
