ingredients

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or to taste)

directions

  • Place onions, balsamic, oil, salt and sugar in sauce pan, cover and cook on medium low until very soft. The onions should still be purple in color (if they are black there is probably too much vinegar -- remember you can always add more but you can't take it out).
  • Put together cheese and onion on bread. Spray with truffle oil and grill in pan or panini press.
  • Dunk it in tomato basil soup. Yum.

  1. Absolutely delightful. I used rye bread, and forgot to add the sugar. Now whenever I feel like making a big pot of french onion soup, I'll make this instead. They taste the same!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a vegetarian and love spicy and ethnic food. I am always searching for the perfect this or that. I'm a mad scientist in the kitchen and in real life. I am in medical school and have a one year old son and find cooking to be excellent stress relief. I want my food to be fun and beautiful and to put a smile on people's faces (mostly my husband's).
