• Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
• Serve hot with sliced, toasted baguettes.

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and olive oil until the butter melts completely. Add the onions and season with salt and the paprika.

When smooth, remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in three-quarters of the caramelized onions, three-quarters of the scallions and the cayenne. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt.
