Ruth's Baked Onions


I have always heard about onions so sweet you can eat them like an apple. I have had Vidalia onions before and never found that to be true. I just thought it was one of those myths, wives tales, etcetera. Two weekends ago, at the farmers market, Ruth from Whitaker Farm proved me wrong.

This week when I bought more Ruth told me her recipe for baked onions and had my mouth watering. Ruth said cook these in foil at 500°, after cooking place a dab of butter on top and eat the onion as if you would a baked potato.

Holy Moly! These onions are fantastic!

4 large Vidalia onions

1/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded (fresh) Parmesan cheese (optional)

 

Preheat to 500°F

Cut the top off the onions and skin

Score the onions, place a pat of butter on top then wrap in aluminum foil

Cook for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the onion

Remove from foil, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese if you choose to use it
