Melted Onions with Imported French Gruyere
These easy-but-elegant, lightly caramelized onions roast to perfection in a basic muffin tin! A generous topping of melted imported Gruyère cheese adds an incredible nutty flavor. We love these to top salads, use in a savory tart, or as a side dish for roast chicken or steak.
Ingredients
- 6 medium onions peeled and halved crosswise
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 ½ cups grated imported French Gruyère cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Brush the interior of your muffin tin cups with butter, reserving the rest for later.
- Place onion halves cut side up in muffin tin cups. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes to soften.
- Brush onions generously with butter and return to the oven for 40 minutes or until well browned. Top with cheese and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to melt. Garnish with thyme and enjoy!
