  1. Peel and thinly slice the onion.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
  3. Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelised and golden brown (about 15 minutes).
  4. If using garlic, mince the garlic and add it to the onions for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  5. Pour in the beef stock, add thyme, and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. While the soup is simmering, preheat the grill. Toast the baguette slices on both sides until golden brown.
  7. Grate the Gruyère cheese and set aside.
  8. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Ladle the soup into an oven-safe bowl, place the toasted baguette slices on top, and sprinkle with grated Gruyère cheese.
  10. Place the bowl under the grill until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
