Onions are an ingredient that seems to pair with all food. It is used as a filler, as an added ingredient to salads, meats, casseroles. It is not too often that you will find a recipe specifically for another method in which to make onions.
This recipe turns the lowly onion into a tasty and terrific side dish. One that is totally unexpected, but very welcome.
This dish is sliced onions in a creamy Parmesan sauce. The sweet onion combined with the savory parmesan is completely amazing. When you roast the onion first, it takes that bite out of the onion that would normally be there.
The onions are topped with cheese and sauce which makes it perfect. This is a hearty dish that is sure to satisfy all who taste it. This can be served as a side to basically any meat or as a vegetarian dish.
What type of onion is best in this dish, Sweet or not?
I will most often use Sweet onions, such as Vidalia. I slice them thin, but leave the rings together.
Can I add a bit of spice to this side dish?
Certainly, the Creamed Parmesan Onions can be spiced up a notch by adding Red Pepper flakes, or Cayenne Pepper.
What do I do with the leftovers?
The onions can be stored in an airtight container for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator. They will remain fresh and can be reheated using the microwave.
Could I use yogurt rather than heavy cream?
I cannot truthfully tell you if that will work or not. I would imagine it could be switched out. If you try it, let us know how it works.
