Method:

Oven temperature: 200°C

1. Cook the onion in sufficient water
for about 15 minutes, or until slightly
softened. Remove from the water and
allow to cool. Use a sharp knife to remove
the top 2,5cm of each onion. Chop this
finely and set it aside. If necessary, you
can cut the bottom of the onion so that
it can stand upright. Carefully hollow out
each onion by removing a tablespoon of
flesh. Chop this finely. Preheat the oven.

2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry
the chopped onion, garlic and rosemary.
Fry it until soft and add the thick cream.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir
in the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste
with salt and black pepper.

3. Twist a strip of ham or bacon around
each onion and fasten it with a sprig of
thyme. Place the onions in an oven dish
and spoon the chopped-onion mixture
into each one. Bake the onions for about
25 minutes and serve hot.
