    I halved this recipe. I did drizzle a little EVOO over the onions before baking and the mayonnaise I used was reduced fat. I made no other changes. I actually made this the night before last as I wanted it to sit in the fridge for as long as possible before using. This. Is. MONEY. - Read more ...

    I used this tonight after viewing this recipe. I blended in my magic bullet and it came out extraordinary. I used two medium white onions instead of sweet and it still have a wonderful flavouring to it. Thank you! Such a classic!

    THIS ROCKS!!!! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The roasting of the onions brings out the flavor. This was delicious on hamburgers but our favorite thing is to use it as a french fry dipping sauce. Everyone I have served this to loves it. Great stuff. Thank you!

    I found that I could have more control over the caramelization process if I put some EVOO and a pat of butter in a saute pan sliced my onions into thin rings and caramelized them that way. I seasoned the onion slices (I used one large onion--the size of a fist) with a light sprinkling - Read more ...

    We really really enjoyed this mayonnaise recipe! I read how Roxanne was hoping for more carmalization on her onions so instead of just cutting them in half I cut them into thick slices and placed them on the cookie sheet with 3 cloves of garlic as well. I brushed on a little evoo and sprinkled - Read more ...

    A definite MUST TRY! I made this for homemade Frisco Burgers. I used yellow onion - IMO it has more onion flavor - chopped in half then into quarters. Sprinkled with a bit of kosher salt fresh ground black pepper and EVOO. Added a couple of sprinkles of garlic powder at the end so it - Read more ...

    I love caramelized onions so I had a feeling I would love this mayonnaise. The only problem I had is the fact that my onion didn't get a nice caramel colour all over but it had that wonderful smell and was very soft by the time 30 minutes had past. Only the edges seemed to - Read more ...
