Servings 6 Servings
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp. white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese (Or gouda, sharp cheddar, or your favorite cheese)
  • 2 tbsp. cream or half and half

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Peel onions and slice into 1/4-1/2-inch rings. Lay the onions in the bottom of the prepared dish. If you like the look, you can gently loosen the rings to create more divots for the cheese to pool. Don’t separate them completely, just loosen them a bit.
  • Season with thyme, salt and white pepper.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and drizzle the cream over the cheese.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, uncovered, or until onions are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden-brown. Serve hot.
