Description
The perfect quick holiday bite! All of the components can be made in advance and heated through before serving for a gooey, savory, cheesy bite. Yum.
Ingredients
- 1 whole Large Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 2 cups Beef Stock
- ½ teaspoons Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 slices Gruyere Or Other Sharp White Cheese (deli Slices Or Similar Amount)
- 2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 package (about 15 Count Package) Frozen Filo Cups
- Fresh Thyme Leaves
Preparation
In a small skillet, add onion, beef stock, spices (except fresh thyme), and Worcestershire with a drizzle of olive oil.
Cook onion mixture over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until onion is very soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. This will take about 45 minutes, more or less depending on your stove and the skillet you use. A nonstick skillet works great for this!
Cut cheese slices into 8 pieces each, enough to yield two small squares per fillo cup.
When filling ingredients are prepped, preheat oven to 375ºF and fill the filo cups. Place a small amount of Parmesan cheese in each cup, followed by about 1 teaspoon of the onion mixture (use it all up!). Top each cup with two small pieces of melting cheese.
Bake cups for 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Top with fresh thyme leaves and serve hot. For potluck events, I bake these right before I leave and serve them at room temperature, or assemble them and bake them at the host’s house if appropriate.
