Creamy Roasted Red Onions
Creamy roasted red onions are an amazing side dish for holiday meals and family get-togethers. Red onions are oven roasted, stuffed with a creamy onion filling and topped with a crunchy panko and bacon topping.
Serves 4
For the Onions:
4 medium-sized red onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
1/2 teaspoon grated or minced garlic
For Topping:
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel the onions. Trim the root ends, so they will set upright and cut about 1/2 inch from the tops. Drizzle olive oil over onions and rub it all over. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Gently remove the centers of the onions leaving a shell. I left 2 to 3 layers.
Return a slice of the center to each to form a bottom.
Coarsely chop onion centers.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, salt, herbs de Provence, garlic and chopped onions.
Spoon filling into shells.
In a small bowl combine Panko, butter, bacon and parsley.
Spoon carefully over stuffed onions.
Bake for 20 minutes or until filling is heated through and bread crumbs just start to brown.
Serve immediately.
