- Melt the butter in a large casserole dish. Add the onions, thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and fry slowly, stirring regularly for about 45 minutes or until very soft and caramel brown.
- Stir in the garlic and fry for 30 seconds. Then stir in the corn flour, add the stock and stir until boiling. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Mix half the cheese with the mustard and plenty of black pepper. Spread the mixture onto the bread then place each slice on the surface of the soup. Sprinkle over the remaining grated cheese.
- Place the soup in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is well browned and the soup is bubbling. Serve immediately.
