CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET BREAD



Cheesy Caramelized Onion Skillet Bread image

This appetizer is perfect for a football game or informal party, but it came about because I have two sons who are always hungry. I needed time to get dinner on the table after coming home from work. They love the skillet bread for the flavor, and I love it because it keeps them in the kitchen to chat while I prepare the rest of dinner! If you'd like, you can use homemade biscuits instead of prepared. -Mary M. Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

CHEESY ONION GARLIC BREAD

Since I make this without really measuring, the amounts listed are only estimated but close to what I use when I make this bread, you can adjust the amounts slightly to suit taste, the amounts listed are for two long baguettes but you can reduce the amounts for just one baguette, I serve these at my get togethers so I always make two loaves. You will love this bread.

KING'S HAWAIIAN CHEESY SWISS ONION GARLIC BREAD



King's Hawaiian Cheesy Swiss Onion Garlic Bread image

This is a recipe that I found in a church cookbook a few years back. I almost always serve this with home-made soup or chili for a delicious, satisfying meal. Sometimes I like to add chopped ham with the swiss and red onion for a nice change of pace from your ordinary soup and sandwich. Enjoy! Peg

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1 lb. round loaf king's hawaiian bread
8 oz swiss cheese (can use mozzarella or provolone)
5 Tbsp chopped red onion
1/2 c butter, melted
3 clove garlic, minced
1/2-1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp fresh parsley or green onion tops for color (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut bread diagonally in 1" slices to within 1 inch of the bottom. Be careful not to slice all the way through. Repeat cuts in opposite direction forming a diamond pattern.
  • 2. Cut cheese into slices and then dice. Insert into bread, filling bread slices evenly.
  • 3. Combine red onion, butter, garlic and salt. Spoon evenly over bread. Top with chopped fresh parsley or green onion tops, if using. Wrap tightly in tin foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melty and gooey.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cheese: Opt for a cheese that melts well, has a good flavor, and pairs well with onions, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Use Fresh Onions: Freshly diced onions provide a more intense flavor and texture compared to pre-packaged or dehydrated onions.
  • Caramelize the Onions: Taking the time to caramelize the onions brings out their natural sweetness and adds a delightful depth of flavor to the bread.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can result in a dense and tough loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the Dough Rise Properly: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This ensures a light and airy texture in the final bread.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to achieve a perfectly golden-brown crust and a well-baked interior.
  • Cool Before Slicing: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent it from crumbling or falling apart.

Conclusion:

This cheesy onion bread recipe is a delightful combination of savory and sweet flavors, perfect for any occasion. With its golden-brown crust, soft and fluffy interior, and the irresistible aroma of caramelized onions and melted cheese, this bread is sure to be a hit among family and friends. Whether enjoyed as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish, this cheesy onion bread is a delicious treat that can be easily prepared at home. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds craving more. Happy baking!
