This red onions & Gorgonzola quick bread will make a great appetizer or side-dish at every picnic and potluck.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil + 1 Tablespoon for cooking
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar*
  • 1 ¼ cup (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons (12g) baking powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup + 1 Tablespoon (12.5 cl) milk, warmed up
  • 7 ounces (200g) Gorgonzola cheese**, diced
  • 3.5 ounces (100g) grated cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • ¼ cup (40g) walnuts (optional)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with oil and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Set aside.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat one Tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Add the onions and let melt for a few minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Pour in the balsamic glaze (or alternatively the balsamic vinegar) and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring regularly. Season with fresh thyme, salt and pepper, and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, eggs, olive oil, and warm milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add caramelized onions, Gorgonzola cheese, grated cheese and stir.
  5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

* Balsamic glaze is a little bit thicker and is recommended for this recipe. If using balsamic vinegar instead, make sure the onions absorb the liquid properly while cooking.

** Or any other soft blue cheese of your choice (Danish Blue, Stilton, Roquefort, etc.). Instead of blue cheese, you could also use feta cheese or fresh goat cheese.
