- Melt a tbs oil and a tbs butter in a deep

fire, to brown the flour;

onions, and the salt and pepper. Bring to
a boil and then let the mixture simmer for 20

into quarters and sauté them,

set the oven to a hot, 400 degree oven, for

cooked for the 20 minutes, pour it into
the 4 prepared, hot bowls. Sprinkle heavily with the
grated cheese and place the mixture into the hot oven for
about 12 minutes.
