Baked Onions with Gruyere

By Tbird

Ingredients

• 5 medium sweet white onions, such as Vidalia
• 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 cup finely shredded Gruyere cheese (4 oz)
• 2 tsp finely chopped fresh sage

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat large, shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Baking dish should be large enough to hold 10 onion halves.

Trim about 1/4" off top and bottom of onions so that halves sit flat on a plate. Cut onions in half cross-wise and then peel them. Arrange onion halves, cut sides up, in baking dish.

Brush exposed onion tops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Bake about 35 minutes.

In glass measuring cup, mix beef broth and soy sauce. Remove dish from oven and pour sauce over onions. Return to oven and continue baking about 1 hour, basting occasionally. If liquid evaporates, add a little water.

Remove dish from oven and sprinkle cheese and sage evenly over onions. Bake 5-7 minutes more or until cheese melts.
