    Mince Garlic

    Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and grate the Gruyère cheese.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Caramelize Onions

    In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.
