This was very good. You could easily double the amount of onions in this from a more onion flavor. Thanks for sharing.

Having read the reviews, I added some anchovie to the saute-ing onions. The result is a lovely eggy, light cake and is, indeed, great with a glass of wine.

We really liked this a lot stormy. It was full of flavour, dense & would be ideal served as a welcome departure from potatoes & paired w/grilled meat + salad greens. I tweaked it a tiny bit - used garlic salt instead of reg salt & next time will use a more generous amt of fresh or roasted garlic. To add a meat component, I poured half the batter into the pie plate, placed a layer of pre-cooked sliced sausage & added the rest of the batter. It was perfectly done in the exact time stated. DH thot it was too - he loved it! I'm so glad I picked this for the QQ's Cook Again Reunion. :-)

I liked this... it was certainly easy to make and tasty. I put it onto a buffet table for family and nine guests and it was liked by most. Clearly some were not onion fans, so were less impressed, so under my rating system would have given 3 stars, but they were outvoted by the onion lovers who won the day to give this the 4 stars I feel it justly deserves. Please see my rating system... and Thanks for a lovely recipe :)
