I love this recipe! It came from Southern Living magazine and is one of my family's favorite. It takes a little bit of time to prepare and cook but is well worth the effort. Very unique taste with the gorgonzola and the sweetness of the onions. Enjoy! Ingredients:

1 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided |

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |

3/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola or 3/4 cup blue cheese |
