• Yield: Serves 6


Ingredients

  • 6 brown onions, peeled and halved

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper

  • 1 cup (250ml) single (pouring) cream

  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/2 cup (50g) finely grated smoked mozzarella

  • 1/2 cup (60g) finely grated Gruyère

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the onions, cut-side up, in a greased baking dish. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake for a further 15 minutes or until just starting to brown. Combine the cream, thyme, mustard and cheeses and spoon over the onions. Bake for a further 15–20 minutes or until the onions are golden.
