Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 sweet onions
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup white wine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F, preparing the perfect environment for transforming these onions into something spectacular.
- Spread 3 thinly sliced sweet onions evenly across a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the onions, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper across the surface.
- Roast the onions at 375°F for 15 minutes until they start to soften and become slightly translucent.
- Increase your oven temperature to 450°F while the onions rest momentarily.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup white wine, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne over medium heat.
- Simmer the cream mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the edges start bubbling.
- Pour the entire cream mixture evenly over the roasted onions, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese across the top of the onions.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 450°F for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese turns golden brown and the onions caramelize.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-4 minutes before serving hot directly from the baking dish.
Notes
- Slice onions uniformly to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Choose sweet onions like Vidalia for a milder, more delicate flavor profile.
- Create a gluten-free version by swapping regular Parmesan for a certified gluten-free alternative.
- Prevent burning by watching the dish closely during the final uncovered roasting stage, as the high temperature can quickly caramelize the cheese.
