Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large-sized sweet onions (Vidalia, Maui sweets, sweet yellows)
1 stick butter (room temperature)
2/3 cup blue cheese (crumbled)
4 strips bacon (crisped and crumbled)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (crushed)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Trim the ends off of the onions, and peel. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the inside of the onion to create a cavity. (Be careful not to dig all the way through the bottom).
  • In a small bowl mix together butter, cheese, bacon, and thyme. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (Blue cheese is a bit salty so go easy).
  • Using a spatula or small spoon, stuff the mixture into the onions, completely filling the center.
  • Place each onion on a square of aluminum foil. Draw foil up to create a sealed pouch. (Keep the foil from touching the sides of the onion, and make sure the top is sealed to hold in steam).
  • Heat your grill on high. Reduce heat to medium low and place the foil pouches directly over the heat. Close the lid of the grill and cook for 30 - 40 minutes. (Cooking time will vary upon size of onions). Resist the temptation to open the grill and the pouches.
  • Remove from grill and allow to stand for a full 5 minutes before opening the pouches. (Caution, the steam from the pouches will be hot).
  • Using tongs or a spoon carefully transfer the onion onto a plate or bowl. Use a spoon to drizzle any remaining butter from the bottom of the pouch over the onion.
