Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice them in half horizontally to create flat, even layers. Trim a small portion off the bottom of each onion half to help them sit flat during baking.

Step 3

Place the onion halves cut side up in a baking dish.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

Step 5

Combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter and garlic mixture over the breadcrumb mixture and stir well to create a crumbly topping.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the onion halves, pressing down gently so it adheres.

Step 7

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the baking dish around the onions. The liquid should come about halfway up the sides of the onions but not cover them completely.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes to allow the onions to soften.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes to allow the breadcrumb topping to turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the onions cool slightly before serving. Spoon some of the flavorful broth over the onions for extra moisture if desired.

Step 11

Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish.
