Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Vidalia or sweet onions
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium zucchini, shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
3 tablespoons Progresso™ plain dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking pan with foil.
  • Cut 1/2" off the top of each onion; slightly trim the bottoms so that the onions stand upright. Place the onions, cut side up, in the prepared baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Remove and discard the onion peels. Using a spoon, scoop out the onion centers, leaving a 1/2" shell. Chop the centers and reserve 1 cup for the stuffing; save the remainder for another use.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, garlic, thyme, basil, and the 1 cup chopped onions. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the zucchini is softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, pine nuts, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide the filling among the onion shells. Place the onion shells in the same baking pan and top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minute, or until golden.

I followed the recipe exactly and the onions turned out burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These stuffed onions were a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a lighter cheese.

The flavors in this dish were amazing! The sweetness of the onions, the saltiness of the sausage, and the creaminess of the cheese all came together perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

These stuffed onions were a great way to use up some leftover sausage. They were easy to make and turned out really tasty. I'll definitely be making them again.

I was looking for a new way to cook Vidalia onions and this recipe fit the bill perfectly. The onions were tender and the filling was delicious. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this recipe several times and it never disappoints. The onions are always perfectly cooked and the filling is flavorful and satisfying. I like to add a little extra garlic and herbs to the filling for a bit of a kick.

These stuffed Vidalia onions were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet onions, savory sausage, and gooey cheese was irresistible. I'll definitely be making them again.
