Simple flavours – onion and smoked cheese – that combine perfectly for a dish that complements practically all main courses.

Ingredients

  • 10 medium onions
  • 60 g (2 oz) scamorza affumicata (or another smoked cheese)
  • 60 g (2 oz) fontina (or another melty cheese such as Gruyère)
  • Breadcrumbs

Directions

  • Peel and boil the onions until tender but not mushy (about 10-15 minutes).
  • Leave to cool. Halve the onions and remove the inner third of the flesh.
  • Finely mince the onion centres with the cheese, adding salt and pepper.
  • Use this mixture to fill the holes in the onions and to cover them.
  • Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and a little olive oil.
  • Bake at 180°C/350°F for 15 minutes or until browned on top.
