Onion & Garlic Bread

Onion & Garlic Bread

1 Tbsp butter

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp ground thyme (or poultry seasoning)

1 few grinds of black pepper

1 (12') loaf crusty bread, split lengthwise

2 handfuls grated Parmigiano

Melt butter in a small pan over moderate heat.  Add onions and garlic and season with sugar, thyme and pepper.  Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden in color and translucent.  Place the split bread on a baking sheet and broil until golden.  Spread half the onions and garlic on each half of bread in a thin layer.  Sprinkle each side of loaf with a handful of cheese and return to the broiler for 30 seconds to bubble cheese.  Serve with a hearty soup.

Can we say 'Yum-O!'  These onions were wonderful and I don't even LIKE onions!  Cathy (From Rachael Ray/FoodTV)
