Ingredients
  

Onions

  • 2 large sweet onions

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • ¼ cup fat-free sour cream

Preparation and Baking

  • Preheat oven to 425°. With a sharp knife, slice ½ in. off the top of each onion; peel onions. Cut each into 16 wedges to within ½ in. of root end.
  • Place each onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Fold foil around onions and seal tightly. Place in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter and mustard. Open foil. Brush butter mixture over onions; sprinkle with bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
  • Bake, leaving foil open, until crisp-tender, 18-22 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with onions.

Notes

Serve hot as a delightful appetizer with the sauce on the side.
