Martha, Ina, Giada – all very reliable sources for excellent meals. But Lisa at The Cutting Edge of Ordinary is really the one who tends to feed my family on a regular basis. And when she says, “You have to make this!”…well…I make it!
She has naturally supplied me with another great recipe.
You know those dishes where only half of it actually reaches the table…because you kept taking a taste? Ya. This gets filed in that category. I loved this so much, I made it two nights in a row.
If caramelized onions make you happy, this one is a must. Sliced onions, which are roasted in a Parmesan/cream/wine bath; the sauce permeates each onion ring and makes every bite luscious.
Silly onion. How can you be so bitter and make me cry, but then turn around to be so sweet and make me smile? You may play a supporting character more times than not, but I know you’re the real genius behind the starring role.
Roasted Parmesan Creamed Onions
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
• 4 medium to large yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup of white wine
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Peel and slice the onions into 1/4 inch thick slices. Carefully place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, keeping the rings intact. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
While the onions are roasting, place the heavy cream and wine in a small saucepan and simmer until it starts to bubble around the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once onions are removed from oven, raise the temperature to 450. Carefully transfer them to a shallow baking dish, again, keeping the rings intact. Slowly pour the cream sauce over all the onions. Sprinkle each onion with the Parmesan cheese.
Cover baking dish with foil and return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 5 minutes, letting the onions get brown and caramelized.

Oh I just stumbled upon this and now i have to make it..tonight~!
I’m thinking it’d be divine over tilapia!
Hi Tiffany – I hadn’t thought about serving it over something, as opposed to a side. I love the idea…and I love tilapia.
Oh my word… this is RIGHT up my alley!! Onions? Yes, please. Parmesan? YES, please. Only one little setback here… I have a slight aversion to cooking with wine – don’t ask, I couldn’t answer you anyway. Could I substitute chicken stock?
Greetings Erin – Hm. I hate to say no, but…the wine lends to the richness of this dish. However, I am never ever above experimentation. Since you have nothing to compare it too, you may love it. So, I say try it and report back!
yum! These look amazing. I must try!!
Oh gawd! this looks out of this world. I have to try it!
My God – I saw this at 1028 in the morning and had to stop myself from getting up to make them. These are going on my table as soon as I can manage.
Ha! That’s funny…I actually try not to read food blogs at nighttime anymore, to avoid going to bed hungry. I hope you make this – it’s already going to be included in my regular rotation. Thanks for coming by Kate!
These onions sound wonderful with this creamy wine sauce, would sure love to try!
What a delicious way to serve onions! I can see from the ingredients why it is tasty:-)
YUM! a similar recipe has been a favorite in our house, and I’ve made it with onion, but if you substitute it with fennel for the onion and Pernod for the white wine…. also a stunner!!!
Ooh, what a gorgeous recipe! I think that I just might use onions in every single meal that I cook, but I’ve never had anything like this. It’s going on my menu soon for sure!
Just lovely…can’t wait to try this to accompany something from the grill. Thanks!
Wow…that looks awesome. I <3 onions too!! I definitely need to make this…pronto! Thanks for sharing!
If you make something two nights in a row, that’s always a good sign!
Long live onions, parmesan cheese and cream!
Anything with onions and/or garlic passes the test in this house. How can you go wrong with onions, cream, cheese and wine! This dish looks delicious, and can’t wait to try it.
Caramelized onions are my new favorite thing to make and eat. I just love how they melt in my mouth. So I can only imagine how much I am going to love these roasted onions. They look amazing!
You know, more and more I’m getting my recipes from fellow food bloggers rather than tv or cookbooks. Food bloggers are so talented! And I love it when they make recipes from other sources and rate them so you can decide if you want to make it too. You don’t have to create your own recipes to be a great blogger!
Thanks, Christina! That’s probably the best compliment I’ve received all week. And I agree…so many wonderful bloggers out there who provide and endless supply of fantastic recipes. I am humbled to be a part of them.
I love onions, these sound so good!
Wow, this looks so super glamorous and creamy. Amazing that it’s made with just a few simple ingredients. I love that this showcases the onion, which is usually just a side attraction!

The onions sound like they have a Y chromosome to me. One minute they’re making you cry, and the next you are curling up into bed with them and swearing that you’ll never let them go…sigh. Hate to love them.
This recipe sounds so delicious! I think I need it in my life. Probably tomorrow. Maybe with a little less heavy cream. Who knows. crazy things might happen.
Ya. And if you cook them too long, they could burn. (Another male analogy in there, me thinks.) Make it…and leave in the cream. Live a little!!
That picture! I want to take a Parmesan/cream/wine bath, that sounds very luxurious! This sounds amazing, it’s hard to go wrong with those ingredients.
I love it…if a parmesan/cream/wine bath is good enough for onions, why not us! Lol. Man, can you imagine how wonderful your skin would feel afterward?
I knew you would love these. I made them 3 times already, and I have to confess, once I ate the entire pan myself, not all at once, but still…..those onions are just so hard to resist. Thanks for your kind words lady, you know I feel the same way about your blog. Love ya lady.
Believe me, I did not want to share. I might just make them for lunch this weekend…just for me! Love you back, lady. *MWAH*
That is simply gorgeous! The photo alone is making my mouth water. Yummy.
Oh. My. GOD. This is going to become one of my favorite recipes, I can feel it. I <3 onions. Especially when they're smothered in cream and cheese. This HAS to be included on next weeks menu. Pairing suggestions?
I served it with grilled chicken, which I thought worked really well. I can’t remember if you eat meat? If so, I nice steak would be perfect.
These look amazingly delicious! My husband will think he’s died and gone to heaven when I make these!
Can you believe my brother doesn’t like onions? I know, he’s the weird one in the family. This looks “screen-lickin’” good. And Lisa’s blog is beautiful!
I can’t imagine not liking onions…what about onion rings? Oh wait, that’s fried. Anything fried tastes good.
