  I did this for a dinner party starter - excellent because it can all be prepared in advance. The combination of the cheese with the sweet onions was delicious. I served it with walnut bread. The onions needed longer cooking, about 20 minutes, to make sure they were fully soft before adding good balsamic vinegar (a thick, sweet one, not cheap acidic stuff!) and honey. I needed only one egg for six portions, not two as the recipe states. Don't panic if the cheeses ooze a little while cooking - mine did, but they emerged from the baking tray cleanly, and looked really good when served up.

  Excellent recipe, I agree with the one egg and cooking the onions longer than the recipe states (around 15 minutes). Be sure to use the chicory as the combination of the bitter chicory against the sweetness of the onion is superb.
