Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Prep the onions: Trim both ends and peel the onions. Use a spoon or small knife to hollow out a hole in the center (about 1–1.5 inches wide), leaving the outer layers intact.

Make the filling: In a bowl, mix together Asiago cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, onion powder, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

Stuff the onions: Spoon the cheese filling into the hollowed centers of each onion.

Wrap with bacon: Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each onion to cover as much of the surface as possible. Secure ends with toothpicks if needed.

Drizzle with olive oil and season the tops lightly with salt and pepper.

Roast for 45–55 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the bacon is crisp. If bacon needs more crisping, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

You can swap Asiago for Parmesan, Gruyère, or sharp white cheddar.
Make them ahead and reheat in the oven before serving.

These pair well with steak, grilled chicken, or as a savory appetizer.
