Caramelized onions are one of those ingredients that always manage to nudge a recipe up a few notches. While they can be a pain to make–especially if you make them the right way, without taking any shortcuts–the good news is that they can be made in advance and refrigerated or frozen for later. Put caramelized onions in everything!

January 21, 2016 at 5:27 pmSo many great ideas here, but I have to place a shout out for a recipe from the Greens Cookbook that I have been making since 1994. It is the Carmelized onion, Goat Cheese and Sage frittata. It is topped with a balsamic vinegar reduction. It is an elegant crowd-pleaser at brunch. Haven’t tried making it vegan, but I might add a potato instead or serve cashew cheese on the side.
