Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yellow or Sweet Onions
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
- 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions and slice off the tops and bottoms so they sit flat. Cut a shallow 'X' into the top of each onion to help them cook evenly.
Place the onions in a medium-sized baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly and upright.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
Pour the melted butter and garlic evenly over the onions.
Season the onions with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
Add the rosemary sprigs to the baking dish, tucking them around the onions for flavor infusion.
Pour the heavy cream over the onions, ensuring the base of the dish is covered, but not fully submerging the onions.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the onions. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
