This is a cheese-lover’s delight and makes a really robust meal it
needs only a large mixed salad to go with it.
1. Preheat the oven to 100C/375F/Gas mark 5 and brush an oblong
baking dish with a little oil.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the onions with the
thyme over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes
until very soft and just turning golden. Mix the cheeses and the
chives in a small bowl.
3. Put 4 slices of bread on the bottom of the prepared dish ensuring
that they fit exactly.
4. Cover with the onion mixture and half the cheese mixture. Put the
other slices of bread over and cover with the remaining cheese.
5. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl and season with pepper.
Pour this over the bread and cheese mixture.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until puffed up and golden.
