Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Slice the onions and heat up olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Salt immediately to taste to draw moisture out. Make sure to constantly stir!

* Step 2

Minimally, caramelise onions until golden brown and there is fond (brown caramelised bits) at the bottom of the skillet. Once caramelised, sprinkle flour and bourbon whiskey to deglaze.

* Step 3

Pour in the homemade beef stock, wine and water and simmer together with onions for at least 30 mins. Make sure to taste and adjust seasoning/water accordingly.

* Step 4

In the meantime, preheat the oven and drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper over the bread slices.

* Step 5

Pop the bread slices into the oven and lightly toast for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.

* Step 6

In an oven-safe casserole, ladle the soup and cover with toasted bread slices and shredded Gruyère. Broil in the oven for a minute or two, or until the cheese browns.
