Method

1

Peel and slice the onions.

2

Heat the butter in a large casserole over a medium heat and add the onions. Season with sea salt and cook gently, stirring frequently until they are a rich dark brown colour- this can take up to 30 minutes so have patience.

3

Stir in the flour and thyme until the flour is evenly combined. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper.

4

Pour over the stock and cover.

5

Cook gently for about 30 minutes. Stir through the brandy and check the seasoning.

6

Meanwhile, lightly toast the bread under a medium grill, remove and rub all over with the garlic clove.

7

Ladle the soup into oven proof bowls set on a heavy baking sheet, place a slice of bread in each one and place a mound of grated cheese in the centre of each one.
