Ingredients

8 smallish red onions, (or brown), about 100g each

2 tbsp olive oil

25g butter

100ml dry cider

150g Asda Brie (or Camembert)

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Peel the onions and cut off the roots, leaving the bases intact so they will sit steadily in the cooking dish but not fall apart during cooking. Cut a cross in the top of each one, about three quarters of the way down.
2
Brush all over with oil and put in a roasting tin with any remaining oil. Put a small piece of butter on top of each onion, pressing it into the cross. Pour over the cider. Cover loosely with foil and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
3
Remove the foil and baste the onions with the cider. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered, for a further 25 minutes, basting every so often.
4
Cut the cheese into 8 pieces and press a piece into the top of each onion. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
