Sun Dried Tomato and Caramelized Onion Gratin
Overview
Congratulations to chef Suellen Calhoun who amazed us with her delicious tomato and caramelized onion gratin. Buttery and sweet flavors are present throughout this entire dish that pair wonderfully with the creamy cheeses that make a smooth consistency. Gratins are best served in a shallow dish in the original fashion originating in Europe. Serve as an all out vegetarian dish, individual side dishes or with some toasted ciabatta bread for an amazing appetizer.
