Preparation
- Preheat over at 400°F.
- In a big skillet at medium heat, add the olive oil and onions. Slowly cook for 6 minutes while stirring often. Season with salt and pepper. Add the beer and thyme, stir well and continue cooking for 6 minutes to reduce liquid. Remove from heat.
- Put the butter and garlic in a bowl and melt in the microwave for 45 seconds. Add the parsley and stir. Pour the mix in the bread making sure you spread those cut parts!
- Push half of the cheese in those cracks followed by the onions. Do the same for the rest of the cheese then shove the bacon in those cracks!
- Put the bread on an aluminium sheet then wrap bottom and sides. Add another sheet on top, cover tightly then place on a cooking tray. Put in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove top sheet and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes until top is crispy. Garnish with chive and dig in with your favorite fork!

Our sommeliers suggest
Helle, Brasserie Vrooden
Lombardie, Italie
Is there anything better than a cereal beer to evoke the taste of fresh bread? This Helles is more malty and has a smaller hop taste than a Pilsner. It offers notes of bread and honey that makes it a liquid version of bread.

Franciacorta Barone Pizzini Animante Extra Brut
Lombardie, Italie
This exceptional Franciacorta composed of 84 %Chardonnay, Pinot Noir at 12 %, and 4 %Pinot Blanc is expressed on brioche notes, butter and grilled hazelnut, but also candied lemon, on a crisp finish, Saline, and sparkling. This bubble will be a marvel alongside this cipped country bread.
