Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Onions

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium yellow onions, peeled and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
2/3 cup low sodium beef broth
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried sage (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
3/4 cup grated swiss cheese or 3/4 cup gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grease a 2-quart shallow baking dish.

  • Bake for about 40 minutes.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the broth and soy sauce.
  • Remove onions from oven; pour the beef broth mixture on top and around the baked onions.
  • Return to oven and bake another 45 minutes basting about every 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the sage and grated cheese over the onions; return to oven to about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • If you don't have any puff pastry on hand, you can use wonton wrappers or even crescent roll dough.
  • Be sure to pre-bake the puff pastry cups before filling them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overfill the puff pastry cups. You want them to be full, but not so full that they overflow when you bake them.
