Ingredients

• 4 whole large yellow onions
• 300 grams button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the yellow onions and slice off the tops. Using a small paring knife or melon baller, hollow out the centers of each onion while leaving a sturdy outer layer intact. Reserve the removed onion flesh.

Step 3

Place the hollowed-out onions in a baking dish, drizzle them with olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes to soften.

Step 4

Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved onion flesh and the button mushrooms.

Step 5

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion flesh and garlic, minced, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet, along with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.

Step 7

Stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (reserving 2 tablespoons for later), heavy cream, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well and remove from heat. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the onions from the oven and fill each hollowed onion with the mushroom mixture, packing it in gently.

Step 9

Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan cheese on top of the stuffed onions.

Step 10

Return the baking dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 11

Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
