Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and hollow out the sweet onions, leaving about half an inch of onion walls. Place them in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and garlic powder. Stir in fresh herbs and mix well.
  3. Spoon the cheese filling into each hollowed onion, packing it gently. Optionally, top with breadcrumbs or Parmesan.
  4. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes until the onions are tender.
  5. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is browned and bubbly. Let cool before serving.
