In a non-stick skillet, brown the onion slices in the oil for about 2 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Add the vinaigrette and remove from the heat. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until lukewarm.
Drain the onions, keeping the dressing aside. Split the onion slices into rings.
In a bowl, toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette. Adjust the seasoning.
Divide the lettuce among four plates. Top with the onion rings and cheese slices. Serve with the toasted baguette slices.
