Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet Onions Sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoons Butter Melted
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Grated
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Peel and slice the sweet onions into rings about 1/4 inch thick, separating the rings gently to allow even cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss the onion rings with the melted butter, ensuring each ring is coated evenly.
- Arrange the buttered onion rings in the baking dish in a single layer or overlapping slightly.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over the onions to taste.
- Evenly distribute the grated cheddar cheese over the onion rings, covering them completely for maximum flavor.
- Top the cheese layer with the breadcrumbs, spreading them evenly to create a crunchy topping.
- Bake the onions in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumbs turn a golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the onions in an oven-safe dish and warm them at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
