I think there was a wee bit too much onion in this for me. With the sharpness of the onion and swiss cheese, it was just a TAD too sharp for me. I loved this recipe but next time will substitute some mozzerella for some of the swiss and will use a bit less onion. Tho I liked it alot because there is no crust!!!
