Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions , halved lengthwise
  • 10.5 ounces beef consomme
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
  • 4-8 lices Swiss cheese , depending on how cheesy you like it
  • Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly coat a large baking dish with cooking spray. I use 9x13, however you could go slightly smaller. Onion halves need to lay in a single layer.
  2. Lay onion halves into the baking dish. Pour beef consomme over top of onions. Add water to bottom of the dish.
  3. Place onions in the oven. Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with beefy broth.
  4. Onions should be translucent and soft. Top each onion halve with 1-2 slices Swiss cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon sage on each slice. Season with fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese starts to melt.
  5. Remove and serve immediately.
