Very good! I made as stated, with vermouth and swiss cheese. I think it would also be good with mozzarella, which I will try next time. Some thought it needed more salt and pepper, but that's easily remedied at the table. Thanks yooper!

    This is excellent! I've already decided to add this to my holiday menu. I used big, sweet Spanish onions. I cut the butter down to 6 tbsp and used fat free half and half and it was still rich, cheesey and savory. After I rubbed the garlic in the dish I crushed it and added it right into the onions. If you love onions, you will LOVE this! Thanx for sharing!

    I wanted to try this for the longest time but fat content and complexity kept me back. Usually I try to stick to recipes pretty much as written the first time out, but I decided to give it a go with some changes. Vermouth is not part of my "staple" seasoning collection, so used cooking sherry instead. Less butter with the oil still allows the onions to caramelize; low fat milk replaced the half'n'half; and I skipped the melted butter topping. It was very good! Second time out I used a reduced fat swiss cheese, and just minced the garlic very fine and mixed it in. That was still very good! Now it's a pretty quick and easy side dish that tastes more sinful than it really is. With these modifications it's a keeper at my house.
