- 150 ml cognac
- 550 ml water
- 1 beef jelly bouillon
- 2 whole cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 6 Baguette slices
- 200 g grated cheese

- parsley chopped
Instructions
- Place a wide pot over high heat, allow to get hot, then add the butter, onions, and thyme and sauté for 5 minutes until the mixture turns golden.

- Add the cognac and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add a spice bag filled with the cloves, bay leaves, and garlic.

Notes
- Chef’s tip: Sauté the onions over low heat and mix every so often, so that they don’t burn and spoil the taste of the dish.
