Just perfect! We used nutmeg rather than cloves, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. We served this with grilled steaks and received rave reviews. Delicious! -
I gave this 5 stars. Yum! My family loved this recipe! My 4 yr old newphew who doesn't like onions said they were really good. My fiance complained that I didn't double the batch. I changed the recipe slightly. I did not add the cloves. I did not have Parmesan cheese so I used Romano. I even burned the top (first time broiling) and this turned out wonderful! I put this right in my recipe box. Thanks for posting a great recipe! Thanks christine (internetnut)

My husband liked it, but I'm not sure about this one. I made the mistake of letting the milk/egg/parm mix sit for a while until I was ready to broil, so it was too thick to pour and that may have been part of the problem, but I still think I'll just stick to your incredible Onion Patties, Kitten. If I do try this again, I will leave the cloves out. -
Delicious! I made this exactly as written, using Vidalia onions. I liked the pinch of cloves; it added a nice, subtle flavor. Another added bonus is that it's simple and quick to make. Thanx for another great onion recipe. It's a keeper! -
OK, this is an onion-lover's heaven! This recipe is wonderful. Couldn't be any easier, and you can do much of it ahead. We loved it. Even my picky children ate everything. Thanks Kitten!
