for about 15 minutes, until crusts are dry.
When onions are soft, sprinkle them with flour, stir, add 2 cups of beef stock and stir
until mixture is thickened. Add remaining stock, stir in salt, pepper, and brandy. Bring

the Parmesan, then run them under a broiler for a few minutes and carry out to the table.
