For best results oven cook. Please note that all ovens are different. These are the recommended cooking instructions but please make sure that all food is piping hot before serving. We’d recommend getting all your dishes out of the fridge and reading through the cooking instructions, so you know when everything needs to go in the oven. Otherwise, sit back, relax and let us do the hard work. Bon Appétit!

French Onion Soup
Served with Comté croutons and fougasse.
Prep time: 2 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes
Pre-heat the oven (Fan oven at 180°C / electric oven at 200°C / gas mark 6).
Slice the baguette at an angle into 6 pieces and place them onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with the grated Comté cheese.
Place in the centre of the oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile place the fougasse on a baking tray, reserving the garlic butter for later.
When the 5 minutes has elapsed, add the fougasse to the oven and set timer for 10 minutes.
Once the 10 minutes it up, the fougasse should have gone golden brown and the cheese on the croutons should have melted. Remove everything from the oven and finish the fougasse by topping with garlic butter.
