- Prepare Onions: Place thick-sliced onions on a tray, drizzle with oil, season with salt, and bake at 200°C (392°F) for 10-12 minutes.
- Assemble Focaccia: Drizzle garlic oil on dough, create holes with fingertips, insert confit garlic, top with onions and blue cheese.
- Bake Focaccia: Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
