Ingredients
- 4 large onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cut off the top quarter of each onion and peel away the outer layers without removing too much flesh to ensure the onion maintains its shape. Trim a small amount from the bottom so they sit flat.
Step 3
Use a spoon or melon baller to hollow out the center of each onion, leaving about a quarter inch of onion on all sides. Reserve the scooped out onion centers for another use.
Step 4
Brush the outside and inside of each hollowed onion with olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, chopped parsley, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and combined.
Step 6
Spoon the cheese mixture into each hollowed onion, filling them generously but without overflowing.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the onions from drying out.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Allow the onions to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a light meal.
