1 medium size yellow onion, finely chopped

1 Italian 12 inch (30 cm) bread loaf

1/4 cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan cheese

• Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
• In a medium skillet melt 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) butter, over medium heat.
• Add chopped onion and sauté 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from heat and allow the onion to cool slightly.
• Cut bread in half horizontally and place the halves side by side on a long sheet of aluminum foil.
• Stir the rest of the butter into the sautéed onion until melted.
• Spoon the onion butter over the cut surfaces of the bread.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Keeping the halves open, wrap the bread loosely with the foil and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Open the foil and continue to bake until the halves are crisp and golden (10-15 more minutes). Cut the bread crosswise into slices and serve them warm.
