  • Spoon over the top of the cheese layer, then smooth out evenly with the back of a spoon.
  • Cover with aluminum foil tightly, then place in the oven (with a baking sheet on the rack directly under it to catch any overspill while cooking).
  • Bake for 90 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, remove the foil, and sprinkle the fried onions evenly over the top.
  • Place under a hot broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Garnish with green onions or parsley.
