Cheesy Herbed Dinner Onion Slabs
A delightful side dish featuring savory onions topped with a cheesy blend.
Ingredients
- 4.0 large sweet onions
- 1.0 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1.0 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cream cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2.0 cloves garlic
- 1.0 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1.0 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1.0 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.0 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- None leaves fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the onions and cut them into 1-inch thick slabs. Aim for 2-3 slabs per onion. You should get at least 8 onion slabs.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Brush both sides of each onion slab with the oil mixture and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, Parmesan, and minced garlic. Add the thyme and parsley and mix until well blended.
- Take a generous tablespoon of the cheese mixture and spread it on top of each onion slab. Press down lightly to help the cheese adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm.
