Special Notes

These baked onions are a simple and delicious side dish. The key is to bake them until they're tender but not mushy. The combination of breadcrumbs and cheese adds texture and flavor. This dish is perfect for any meal and can be made ahead of time. For extra flavor, you can add different herbs or spices. The onions should be completely tender when done.
