Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 vidalia onions
6 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Get the biggest Vidalias you can find. Peel and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the onion so that it sits flat in a casserole dish. Take out a little of the core and cut a bit X in the top of the onion. Place each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
  • Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
  • Variation: Prepare onions as above, but instead of Worcestershire sauce, pour on about 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua before baking. It makes them nice and sweet. You can also put these on a gas grill or nestle them right down into the charcoal (use heavy-duty aluminum foil).

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS



Baked Vidalia Onions image

Lordy, Lordy, how my mother loved these baked Vidalia onions. You can only grow Vidalia onions in Georgia. Now I don't know why but that's what the Vidalia Onion Committee says. They start hitting the stores in late spring and run through the whole summer. The Jay Cees and other groups sell them each year also. My daughters...

BAKED STUFFED VIDALIA ONIONS



Baked Stuffed Vidalia Onions image

Do your best to choose onions that are uniform in size for even cooking. If you don't want to use white wine, you can easily substitute chicken broth. You can also top each onion with a bit of shredded cheese - muenster is a personal favorite.

Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large vidalia (or other sweet variety) onions, about 3/4 lb each
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 c dry white wine
1/4 c half-and-half
1 Tbsp bread crumbs
paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • 2. Trim a slice, about 1/2-inch thick, from the root end of each onion. Peel away the papery skin and place the onions in a covered, microwave-safe dish with about 1/4-inch of water in the bottom. Microwave at 80% power for 4 to 4-1/2 minutes. Remove from the oven, drain off the water and let stand, uncovered, until cool enough to handle.
  • 3. To begin removing the inner layers of the onion, insert a fork into the center through the cut end, about 1-inch deep. Twist to separate the layers, pull upward gently, remove and set aside. Repeat with additional layers until you are left with a hollow shell about 3/8-inch thick. This could be one or two remaining layers, depending on your onion.
  • 4. Chop the reserved onion into 1/2-inch dice. Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened completely, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the onions, tossing to coat. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the flour begins to turn uniformly golden in color, about 3 minutes. Slowly add the white wine and stir to combine thoroughly. Stir in the half-and-half and continue cooking until the mixture is thickened and smooth, about 3 additional minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired
  • 5. Using a spoon, fill the onion shells with the creamed mixture, pressing down gently with each spoonful. Top with the breadcrumbs, dust with a bit of paprika for color, and place in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crumbs have browned.

4 large Vidalia onions
4 beef bouillon cubes
4 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Trim and slice from the top of each onion, and peel the onion without cutting off the root end.
