ONION SANDWICHES

MAKE ANY AMOUNT DESIRED

What? Onion Sandwiches? Absolutely. If you like onions, you must try one. In the old days, we just used regular yellow onions. Now that we can get sweet onions all year long, the sandwich is even better. In my family, this was usually prepared as a relatively healthy snack, but it can be served as a light lunch, perhaps with a salad on the side. I tried several times to embellish the sandwich with lettuce, pickles and/or cheese, but I prefer it this way.

• Sweet onions, such as Vidalia, peeled, cut in 1/4-inch slices, or desired thickness
• Softened butter
• Salt and pepper
• Sandwich bread, white or whole wheat

Spread each piece of bread with butter on one side. Top one buttered side with onion slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with the other slice of bread.. That's it.

Note: My mother told me that some of the people in the family used mayonnaise instead of butter. I prefer the butter, but it's your choice.
