Ingredients

• 4 pieces large yellow onions
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions, keeping the root end intact to hold them together during roasting.

Step 3

Slice off the top 1/4 inch of each onion to create a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, score a shallow 'X' into the tops to help the flavors penetrate.

Step 4

Place the onions in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the baking dish. Pour the beef broth and dry white wine around the onions to create a flavorful base.

Step 6

Top each onion with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, placing it on the scored 'X' of the onion.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 40 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue roasting the onions for an additional 25 minutes, basting occasionally with the juices in the pan.

Step 9

In the final 10 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the shredded Gruyère and grated parmesan cheese over each onion. Allow the cheese to melt and form a golden crust.

Step 10

Remove the onions from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, spooning some of the delicious juices from the pan over the onions for extra flavor.
