The crust on these onion squares is so flaky and buttery. It's the perfect complement to the caramelized onions.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I actually really enjoyed these onion squares. The onions were caramelized to perfection, and the crust was crispy and flaky. I would definitely make these again.

These onion squares were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less butter.

The crust on these onion squares was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred a thinner crust.

I found these onion squares to be a bit bland. I think they could have used more salt and pepper.
