Ingredients

• 4 pieces large yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice off the tops. Carefully hollow out the centers using a spoon, leaving about 2-3 layers intact so they hold their shape. Set the onion shells aside and finely chop the removed onion cores.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion cores and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the stuffing and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Generously stuff each hollowed onion with the prepared filling and place them in a baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed onions.

Step 6

Pour the broth into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the onions moist while baking.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the onions cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or a light appetizer. Enjoy!
