What an awesome simple recipe to use up an abundance of onions. Each gardening season, I always make room in my small garden for hordes of onions, and to date, March 26, 2006, I still have bags of them, some starting to sprout now!. I will definitely be using this recipe often.I did also add a few sprinkles of garlic.I also tried to go somewhat light on the cheese, to avoid too much fat. TY Lorraine
