Description
A savory side dish featuring sweet onions baked with rich cheeses and seasonings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia), sliced into ½-inch rings
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start this delightful journey by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While your oven warms up, take a moment to lightly grease your 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Once prepped, grab those beautifully sliced onions and arrange them in an even layer within the prepared baking dish.
- Now, it’s time to drizzle that luscious melted butter evenly over the arranged onions. Next, sprinkle the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the top.
- Take a moment to layer your shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and grated Parmesan cheeses over the onions.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap the steam and allow the onions to soften. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, let your Tennessee Onions cool for just a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, try soaking the onion rings in buttermilk for an hour before baking.
