Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute onion in 2 tablespoons melted butter until tender.
- Combine eggs, milk, Bisquick, and 2/3 cup cheese in a bowl, mixing well.
- Add the sautéed onion to the mixture, stirring to blend.
- Pour the batter into a greased 5 x 9-inch loaf pan.
- Mix remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup cheese, and poppy seed to make the topping.
- Sprinkle the topping over the batter.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 to 30 minutes or until the loaf tests done.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using caramelized onions instead of sautéed ones. If you're out of Cheddar cheese, you can substitute with Gruyère or Monterey Jack. To make this a vegetarian dish, ensure that the butter used is plant-based. Serve with a side of soup for a comforting meal, similar to how you might enjoy Sad Brownies as a sweet finish.
Serving Suggestions
This flavorful Cheese Onion Bread pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or a hot bowl of soup. It can also be served as a delightful appetizer with dips. Consider slicing it thick and toasting it for a crunchy texture, making it a great addition to brunch alongside dishes like Gram'S Raisin Cake(100 Year Old Recipe).
