Onions Baked in Wine

A savory side dish that will complement any entrée. Wine and honey infuse the onions with flavor while the herbed breadcrumbs bake to a crunchy topping.

Ingredients

4 medium yellow onions, peeled and halved crosswise

1/2 cup dry white wine

2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

Topping:

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350&deg.
Whisk together wine and honey in a baking dish. Slice bottoms off onions so they will sit firmly in dish. Place onions in dish, cover with foil and bake 45 – 50 minutes. Baste occasionally being very careful when you remove foil, as steam will escape as you lift foil.
While onions are baking, prepare topping. Melt butter in a medium skillet. Add remaining ingredients and sauté about 2-3 minutes until breadcrumbs are crisp. Set aside.
Once onions are baked, remove foil and top each onion half with breadcrumb mixture. Continue baking, uncovered, another 15 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
