Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb pearl onions
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste
3/4 lb Fontina cheese -- 1/3" 8mm cubes
cocktail skewers 20

1. Preheat oven to 375°F-190°C. Blanch onions in boiling, salted water 30 seconds; drain. Slice off the root end. "Peel" the onions by pressing them slightly between your fingers; the inner part will slip out of the papery skin. 2. Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Put onions in a roasting pan, add oil-vinegar mixture, and toss to coat well. Bake until tender (about 25 minutes). Remove from oven and let cool in pan. Taste; adjust seasoning as necessary. 3. To serve, place 2 onions and 1 cheese cube on each cocktail skewer. Makes 24 to 30 skewers.
