Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Season the mirlitons with salt, pepper and cayenne. Alternate layering the mirlitons with the onions in a cascading effect in the center of the foil. Place small dabs of the butter on top of the lyonnaise. Fold the edges of the foil up like a tent and place in the oven. Roast the lyonnaise for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and, using a spatula, place the lyonnaise on a platter. Garnish with parsley and Essence.
