Peel onions and cut into slices 2-3 mm thick. Melt butter in a pan and
add the onions, fry until soft and translucent but do not allow them to
become brown. Add broth and bring to boil. Season to taste with salt and
pepper. Fill the soup into fire proof soup bowls and add a slice of
toasted white bread on top of each. Cover with freshly grated parmesan
cheese and put into a hot oven (salamander is ideal). Serve piping hot
once the cheese has some colour. Oh the simple joys of life!

One other nice dish with onions is the Alsassian onion pie, a quich made
with onions (fried and then stewed in dry white whine, until the whine
is reduced to almost dry) and a mixture of sour cream and eggs. Again,
good seasoning is essential, otherwise the taste will be bland. You may
add some baccos too. Put on a baking plate covered with a yeast based
dow (similar to pizza dow) and bake until you have a good colour. Serve
as main course with the same whine as was used for cooking.
