Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion rings, cooking until they become translucent and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Season the onions with salt and black pepper, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the onions to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and fresh thyme leaves.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the onions, ensuring full coverage.
- Drizzle melted butter over the top to enhance browning and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the aroma that fills your kitchen—a true testament to the love baked into this dish.
