Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
Peel and slice the onions thinly.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg until fully combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold the caramelized onions into the batter gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
