Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    While the onions are cooking, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the Manchego cheese into slices or cubes and place it in an oven-safe dish.

  4. 4

    Combine and Bake

    Once the onions are caramelized, spread them evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle fresh thyme on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
