Description
Asiago Roasted Onions are a flavorful and creamy side dish featuring roasted onions topped with asiago cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds yellow onions (about 4 medium or 2 large), peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch slices
- olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup of asiago cheese, grated
Instructions
- Place the slices of onion in a single layer on the bottom of a greased baking dish, drizzle with oil and season with thyme, salt and pepper before roasting in a preheated 450F/230C oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts to simmer, mix in the mustard and half of the cheese, let the cheese melt, and pour it over the onions before sprinkling on the remaining cheese.
- Cover in foil and bake for 20 minutes. (The onions will be tender, the cheese melted, and the sides bubbling when it is done.)
Notes
- Ensure onions are evenly sliced for uniform cooking.
- Feel free to substitute asiago cheese with a similar cheese if unavailable.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a vegetarian side.
