Test Kitchen Discoveries

• Skip the red and white onions. Yellow onions are sweeter and hold their shape better.
• Just trim a little off the ends of the onions and they will stay put.
• Roasting onions in the oven takes too long. We cooked ours in a skillet before we stuffed them.
• To avoid a soggy stuffing, toast the bread crumbs before mixing them with the cheese and spices.
