Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and olive oil. Add the onions, parsley, garlic, Essence, lemon juice, pepper sauce, and salt and combine with a rubber spatula.
Spread a large sheet of heavy aluminum foil on a work surface and place the 2 French bread halves in the middle. Spread the mixture evenly over both halves of bread. Cover the bottom 1/2 evenly with the cheese and top with the other 1/2. Wrap together in the foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is hard and the filling is gooey, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, unwrap, and cut into 2-inch thick slices.
Serve immediately.
