Laravel query builder return object instead of builder

Right now I've got this in my Settings.php model:

public function scopeFromCache($query)
{
    \Cache::rememberForever('settings', function () use ($query) {
        return $query->first();
    })->first();
}

Then in the boot method from my AppServiceProvider I do this:

$settings = Settings::fromCache()->first();

Is it possible to get the settings without the ->first() like this:

$settings = Settings::fromCache();

So instead of returning a query builder return the object?

To answer your question, no.

I would take another approach, since you are caching something forever (settings), I would make custom helper to get you these settings.

So create file app/helpers.php, in composer.json add 

"files": [
    "app/helpers.php"
]

in "autoload" array.

Now forget about using scope, and create method (function) to use cache, just like you are doing now:

if ( ! function_exists('settings')) {
    function settings()
    {
        return Cache::rememberForever('settings', function () {
            return Settings::first();
        });
    }
}

Now anywhere in your project just call settings() and you get your object.
