1 Melt the butter with the olive oil in a wide skillet or Dutch
oven over medium heat. Add the onions, the 2 cloves of sliced
garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the herbs. Cook for about 35 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely wilted and
beginning to brown on the bottom and edges.

5 Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and tighten it around
the edges, but dont press it down on the surface or some of the
cheese may stick to it during baking. Set the baking dish on a
foil-lined baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 45 minutes,
uncover the panade, and bake for another 30 minutes, or until
thepanadeis very well browned and crisp on top. Let cool for
about 15 minutes and then spoon portions of the panade into
soup bowls, making sure everyone gets a highly prized layer of
the crusty topping, and serve.

to room temperature. Once its no longer warm, whisk in the
egg yolks.
4 In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff. Fold one-
third of the whipped whites into the chocolate mixture, sprinkling in the flaky salt. Fold in the remaining beaten egg whites
just until no streaks of white remain. Divide the mousse into
serving glasses, or transfer it to a decorative serving bowl, and
chill for at least 8 hours. While it might be tempting to serve
this with whipped cream, I prefer to serve it pure, straight up
with just a spoon.

Some of the recipes in this book include raw eggs. When eggs are consumed raw,
there is always the risk that bacteria, which is killed by proper cooking, may be
present. For this reason, always buy certified salmonella-free eggs from a reliable
grocer, storing them in the refrigerator until they are served. Because of the health
risks associated with the consumption of bacteria that can be present in raw eggs,
they should not be consumed by infants, small children, pregnant women, the
elderly, or any persons who may be immunocompromised. The author and publisher expressly disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects that may result from
the use or application of the recipes and information contained in this book.
