- Slice the onion at the top, making sure to leave the root intact

- Using your paring knife insert it into the middle of the onion on the side where you sliced it. You want to make a diviet to hold the butter, vinegar and rosemary.
- Add a tablespoon of butter to each onion
- Add a sprig of rosemary to each onion
- Salt the onions generously
- Drizzle the Balsamic into each divit
- Once you smell the onions really cooking you can remove them and sprinkle the parmesan over them usually at about the 6 -10 minute mark
