Description
A comforting dish of sweet onions caramelized under a blanket of cheeses and herbs, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large sweet onions, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- A few grinds of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the sweet onions and layer them in a baking dish.

- Pour the cheese mixture over the onions.
- Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the onions are golden and bubbly.

Notes
If you do not have fresh herbs, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme works in a pinch. Do not skip the cream cheese; it gives the sauce a silky texture. Frozen onions work when time is tight but may lose some texture.
