Important Notes

⚠️

Caramelization is key: Do not rush the onions. Cooking them slowly on low heat ensures a deep, sweet flavor without burning.

⚠️

Ensure you use oven-proof bowls for the final broiling step to avoid cracking.

⚠️

If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can deglaze the pot with a little extra beef stock or water instead of brandy.
