  This was a quick and tasty simple supper. Super easy to make and the flavour of the caramelised onions was lovely.

  This was really tasty. I tried to keep my onions in neat wedges, but that didn't really work! Was a great flavour combination.

  This is delicious! I'm not even a huge blue cheese fan but absolutely love this recipe. I added some grilled bacon and used chopped pecans instead of pine nuts and my other half couldn't get enough of it. Have made it twice already and will def be making it again.
