- 4 ounces gruyere or swiss cheese about 1.5 inches each
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 garlic cloves peeled
- finely chopped parsley Optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Prepare the 4 medium sweet onionsWash, then peel and cut both ends off and discard. Using a melon baller, scoop out some of the inside of the onions to create a space for the fillings in the center.
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and seasonings. (1 tablespoon cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon kosher salt)
- Stuff each onion with the 4 tablespoons butter and 4 ounces Gruyere or Swiss cheese. A cube of butter and a cube of cheese in each.
- Cut four squares of aluminum foil and place the onions in the middle of each.
- Drizzle with the seasoned oil and top with the 4 garlic cloves (1 in each). Wrap the aluminum foil all over the onions and place them in a baking dish.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Garnish with finely chopped parsley. Serve with cooked rice, boiled eggs, or roast.
Notes
- Use sweet onions
- The size of the onions won't matter. I like to use medium onions If you love onions, you can use large onions.
- Use any of your favorite seasonings you have on hand. You can get creative and use whatever seasonings you prefer.
- I liked adding a bit of cheese to my onion boil, it reminds me of French onion soup. The cheese is optional.
- You can serve onion boil as a side dish with protein.
