Elevate simplicity with Jacques Pépin's elegant Onion Sandwich, a masterclass in minimalist culinary artistry. This sophisticated yet surprisingly simple creation features paper-thin onion slices nestled between mayonnaise-slathered white bread, delicately seasoned with salt and pepper. The finishing touch? A decorative rim of fresh chives that adds both visual appeal and herbal brightness. Perfect as an unexpected appetizer for gatherings or a refined light lunch paired with a crisp salad. - Claude

💬 Uncle Dave says...
You can also make this using radishes instead of onions, butter instead of mayo, and parsley instead of chives. Or however you want to mix it up!
