Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs 681g / 24ozPearl onions
1/3 cup 78mlOlive oil
1/4 cup 59mlBalsamic vinegar
  Salt and freshly ground pepper - to taste
3/4 lb 340g / 11ozItalian fontina cheese - in 1/3-inch cubes
  Cocktail skewers

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Blanch onions in boiling, salted water 30 seconds; drain. Slice off the root end. "Peel" the onions by pressing them slightly between your fingers; the inner part will slip out of the papery skin.

Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Put onions in a roasting pan, add oil-vinegar mixture, and toss to coat well. Bake until tender (about 25 minutes). Remove from oven and let cool in pan. Taste; adjust seasoning as necessary. To serve, place 2 onions and 1 cheese cube on each cocktail skewer.
