Ingredients (serves 6)

• 6 onions (white or red)
• 12 cloves
• 2 egg yolks
• 200 g grated hard pecorino (goat) cheese
• breadcrumbs
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Clean the onions and grate them halfway. Stick a clove inside each onion and place in a saucepan with a little water, salt and oil. Cover and let cook on a slow flame.
Once cooked you will need to empty the onions, leaving only about 3 layers internally.
