Baked Vidalia Onions with Cheese, Butter and Herbs
Share:
Ingredients
- 2-3 whole Vidalia onions or any sweet onion will do
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 Cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese the better quality, the better taste
- 1 Cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh oregano or other herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Using non-stick cooking spray, prepare a 9x9 (or 9x13) baking dish.
- Heat oven to 350
- Slice the Vidalia onions in ¼ to ½ inch slices and separate the rings.
- Lay the rings in the prepared baking dish
- Sprinkle the onion rings with garlic salt (about 1 tsp), pepper (about ½ tsp).
- Cut the butter into pats and place around the dish on top of the onions.
- Spread the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of the onions and then top with the grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350 uncovered for 30 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese has started to brown (browned cheese bits is one of the best parts!)
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, garnish with some fresh herbs (oregano, chives, thyme all work well) and then serve.
Notes
- Serve Tennessee Onions over hamburgers, over steak, as a side dish at your cookout or even as a “burger option” for your vegetarian friends.
- Cut the sweet onions in even thicknesses and separate out the rings
- Cut the sweet onions about ½ inch thick
- Use Vidalia Onions when available. Texas Sweets will do as well. Any sweet onion will do in a pinch but Vidalias are the best.
- These Tennessee Onions do not make a custard pie like filling, they simply make baked onions with a cheesy topping - YUM!
- Use the best quality cheese that you can afford for this - it makes a difference.
- Check to see if it needs salt before adding any, cheese and garlic salt are both salty already
