Baked Onions

Directions

1. 1

3. 3
   Test one; it should be meltingly soft inside.

   Put the shallots on serving plates, cut into each shallot, then pour in a drop or two of olive oil and add a few thyme leaves and a few thin scraps of cheese.
5. 5
   Press together until the cheese softens.
6. 6
   Push the shallot from its skin and eat while hot.
