Ingredients

- 1 to 1 1/2 cups reserved onions from French Onion Soup (or Counterfeit French Onion Soup Onions) - 15 to 20 gluten-free wonton wrappers - 1 cup vegan Gruyere, grated - 1/3 cup vegan Parmesan, grated - Chives or twigs of thyme, for garnish - A pat of vegan butter Counterfeit French Onion Soup Onions: - 1 tablespoon vegan butter - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 2 red onions, thinly sliced - 1 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced - 1/2 tablespoon sugar - Salt and pepper, to taste - 1/4 cup cognac (optional, or use additional broth) - 1/2 cup dry white wine (vegan) - 1 cup vegetable stock - 1 bay leaf - The leaves of 4 sprigs thyme

1. **Prepare the Onions:** In a large skillet, heat vegan butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. 2. **Deglaze:** Add the cognac (if using), white wine, vegetable stock, bay leaf, and thyme leaves. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove the bay leaf and set aside. 3. **Assemble Dumplings:** Place a small amount of the onion mixture and grated vegan cheeses in the center of each wonton wrapper.
