Ingredients
- 2 large white onions
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Cut the ends off of whole onions so that they will sit flat. Slice in half and remove the insides of the onions, leaving about 2-3 layers as a shell. Place a small onion slice into the bottom of each half, so that the filling will not run out of the shell.
- Slice the insides of the onions and cook in butter, in a small pan over medium heat, stirring often until caramelized.
- Add softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic, thyme, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
- Spray onion shells with olive oil or lightly brush coating the insides and outsides.
- Stuff onions with filling.
- Cook onions over indirect fire at about 325- 350° with the grill closed for about 15- 20 minutes.
- When onions are lightly browned and filling is hot, remove to a serving platter. Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately.
