Yum! Could not help adding 1 tbs of balsamico to the onions as they where caramelizing. Relatively light weight and healthy recipe.

I really loved the rich flavor the onion added to this dish. I also served this with spaghetti and it was promptly inhaled. I have a feeling this will be served often here. Thanks for sharing this little delight.

Easy and simple to prepare, yet delicious. I came across this recipe while I was heating up some leftover spaghetti sauce and boiling some spaghetti. I had a loaf of French bread, so I decided to give it a try. I followed the directions, except I only used 1/2 small onion, as that was all I had on hand. This Onion & Garlic Bread really jazzed up my dinner. I will make this again. Thanks Sandi!
