Ingredients

Method

1.Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onions and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 20 minutes or until light golden. Add the garlic, sugar, mustard, vinegar, thyme and flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until onions are well coated.
2.Gradually add the stock, stirring to combine. Add 1 cup (250ml) water and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly.

Sprinkle with cheeses and drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Place the bowls on an oven tray and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Serve with extra thyme and pepper.
