Baked Stuffed Onions
How to bake and stuff onions for a perfect side dish.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 large Spanish onions peeled and cut in half horizontally
- 2 oz. bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil as needed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brush each half of the onion with olive oil and bake in a 350°F onion until they start to soften.
- Remove the onion and scoop out a hole in the center. Do not penetrate all the way through. Leave a base for the stuffing. Also, do not scoop too wide a hole or the onion will lose its structure.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Chop the onion you scooped out and mix it with the bread crumbs.
- Moisten the mixture with enough olive oil to hold it together.
- Fill the onion halves and return them to the oven until the stuffing is brown, about 30 minutes.
Notes
(Calorie counters: skip the cheese and use chicken broth instead of oil to moisten the breadcrumbs)
