Ingredients:
- 12 pickling onions, trimmed and peeled
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp thyme leaves, (not thyme powder)
- several grinds of salt and cracked pepper
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- olive oil,
Method:
- Heat oven to 375º. Peel and trim on end of onions.
- Place onions in a small sauce pan with a an inch of boiling water. Allow onions to cook for 3-4 minutes, until they just start to open.
- Carefully using a slotted spoon take the onions out of water and place on a baking dish. Stand them as best you can so the end that looks most like a ‘blossom’ is standing up.
- Combine bread crumbs with the melted butter, thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
- Using a small spoon top the tender onions with the crumb mixture, carefully pressing it into the layers of the onions.
- Drizzle each onion with a little bit of olive oil and bake for 15 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are golden brown. Serve these little onion babies hot!
I love cooked onions!!! I never did until I became an adult These look so good!
Yum! Great idea thanks for sharing 🙂
I was talking to my neighbor today and he said he has small white onions in his garden. He cuts an X in them, slices a piece of bacon and crisscrosses it over the onion with a small pat of butter, wraps in foil and puts them on the grill, or in the oven. Doesn’t that sound sinful????
YUM!!! Bacon, yep. It does make everything better. On the grill is a real plus. We should do these for Bailey’s birthday. Your neighbors way.
