EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Gorgonzola is a cow's-milk cheese with bluish-green veins, similar in flavor and appearance to other blue cheeses. If you don't have Gorgonzola, any other blue cheese, such as Roquefort, Stilton or Maytag, would be a good substitute.

The onions can be cooked and refrigerated up to 48 hours ahead of time and reheated in a microwave oven. Assemble the appetizers just before broiling.

Arrange these tasty appetizers on a pretty platter, and garnish with fresh parsley or another favorite herb. Add a variety of marinated olives from the deli.

I simply don't know how to make this a better recipe. It is great! I carmelize onion without sugar because we are diabetic although it is a small amount of sugar. I can't say enough about Gorgonzola. It is a beautiful, flavorful cheese. Regular Bleu cheese will not do.
