A warm, cheesy delight made with caramelized onions, perfect for cozy gatherings or as a comforting side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 medium sweet onions (like Vidalia)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
- Sauté Onions: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Make It Creamy: Pour in the heavy cream once the onions are golden. Stir to combine and let simmer on low heat for another five minutes.
- Mix in Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in one cup of shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted. Reserve some cheese for topping.
- Assemble Your Bake: Transfer the onion mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle panko bread crumbs evenly over the top along with any reserved cheese.
- Bake Away: Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
