These Feta Stuffed Roasty Onions are a unique and flavorful take on traditional roasted onions. The combination of tangy feta cheese, crunchy breadcrumbs, and spicy pepper elevates this dish to a new level of taste. It's perfect for a cozy night in or as a fancy side dish for dinner parties and holidays. The recipe might seem complicated, but it's actually quite simple and straightforward. Plus, the end result is so delicious that it's worth the extra effort!

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.Cut the tops of the onions, then slice off a bit of the bottom so they stand flat, but leave the root end intact because that's what will hold the filling in.
3.Peel the outer layer of the onions.
4.Use a melon baller or small spoon to remove the inside of the onions so there is a cavity for the filling.
5.Brush the insides of the onions with oil and put them in a baking dish.
6.Mix the remaining oil with the feta, breadcrumbs, chili, sundried tomatoes, thyme leaves, parsley, walnut pieces, salt, pepper, and beaten egg. Stuff the onions with the mixture.
7.Lightly drizzle more oil over the stuffed onions, add some extra sprigs of thyme on top, and cover with foil.
8.Bake the onions in the oven for 30 minutes with the foil on. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the onions and filling are golden brown.
