Ingredients
Bombs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onions, diced (about 2 cups)
- 1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle buttermilk biscuits, not flaky
- 4 ounces Gruyere cheese, cut into 16 equal-sized cubes, divided
Onion Butter
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Gruyere cheese, grated
- parsley, finely chopped for garnish
Instructions
Bombs
- In a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.
- Once melted, add onions and saute for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally until the onions are very tender and caramel color. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.*
- Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Top each biscuit with a heaping tablespoon of onions and 2 cubes of cheese.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit together, pinching them tightly so there are no holes or gaps. Place the bomb seam side down into the oven-safe skillet. Repeat with the remaining bombs.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Onion Butter
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, salt, onion, and Gruyere cheese.
- After removing the bombs from the oven, brush the onion butter mixture over the top of each. Serve warm.
Notes
*Air Fryer Instructions:
Once assembled, place the French onion bombs into the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Depending on the size of the air fryer, you may have to work in batches. Air fry at 350°F for 11-12 minutes, or until golden brown. After they are done, brush the onion butter over the tops and serve.
