- Cook 4 sliced onions in 25g butter in a non-stick pan until really soft (about 10-15 minutes). Keep the heat low and stir often so they don't stick. When they start to colour, add 2 tsp flour and stir for a minute, then slowly add 500ml beef stock. Simmer for 25 minutes.
- Grate 100g Abondance (this is a cow's milk cheese which Mon Plaisir uses, but Gruyère would also work well). Put 6 slices of country bread in a 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 oven for 5-10 minutes until golden and toasted. Butter 2 small ovenproof dishes and line the bottoms with a slice of the toast. Pour some soup on top, add a little of the cheese and repeat three times finishing with cheese.
- Grill until a fine golden crust forms on the top.
