Baked Onions

• banana shallots 4 per person
• olive oil
• thyme sprigs
• a little cheese, such as Caerphilly or Cheddar

1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
2. Bake the shallots in their skins, with a light drizzle of oil and a few sprigs of thyme, for about thirty minutes, until soft to the touch.
3. Test one; it should be meltingly soft inside.
4. Put the shallots on serving plates, cut into each shallot, then pour in a drop or two of olive oil and add a few thyme leaves and a few thin scraps of cheese.
5. Press together until the cheese softens.
6. Push the shallot from its skin and eat while hot.
