| I just typed this up for a friend of mine and so I thought I'd post it - its really quite yummy. I've made it a few times and we just had it last night with steak. Thanks, Debbie814 for surprising me with the gift of this cookbook a while ago, it was a great surprise!
BLUE CHEESE ONIONS GRATIN
(A zesty accompaniment to grilled or broiled steak)
2 large Spanish onions (about 1 pound)
6 ounces blue cheese, broken into pieces
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temp
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425 and position oven rack to the center of the oven. Generously butter a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Slice onions and place evenly in prepared baking dish. Mix remaining ingredients together and spread evenly over onions with a spatula.
Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then broil briefly until top is browned and bubbly. (Watch carefully to avoid burning.)

Woodie's Notes: I would say I "dollop" the cheese topping on, rather than spread it with a spatula and I have never needed to broil the top, it comes out fine for me after just baking so I omit that step, I don't think its necessary.

| About how many would this serve? |

| Ginger it says that it serves 4 but I think that as an accompaniment to a meat, my opinion would be it serves 8 people. Last night I made 1/2 of a large onion and we still had leftovers. Of course we also had the steak, mashed potatoes, mushrooms a veg and a salad. |

| This sounds really good - are Spanish onions red onions? I don't think I've ever seen any onions in our grocery store labeled as "Spanish". Becky |

That's also good made on top of a biscuit crust...butter the baking dish, make your biscuit dough and pat into the bottom of the dish no more than 1/2 an inch thick at the most..and proceed as above.
I don't use that much w'shire and use red pepper instead of black and add a crushed clove of garlic....or 2.
The biscuit absorbs all that greasey cheesey goo!...Yum!!
I use it as an appetiser.

| Becky, they aren't the red onions. Just use those big regular onions. |

| Woddie, this recipe sounds like a winner. Glad you are finding the cookbook useful. |

| Spanish onions are not red. They look like regular yellow onions, just larger. Flavor is about the same. They are great for recipes that need a lot of onions cut up, as it is faster and easier to cut up a few large onions that a lot of smaller ones. Things like French Onion soup, goulash, etc. |
