Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. butter
• 3 medium Vidalia onions, halved
• 2 fresh bay leaves
• 8 sprigs thyme, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Heat butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Add onions, cut-side down. Place bay leaves and thyme in the spaces between the onions so the herbs will flavor the butter. Cook until the onions are dark brown on the bottom, 3-5 minutes. Turn them over and season with salt and pepper. Add broth. Cover with foil and transfer the pan to the oven.

3. Bake the onions until very tender, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately, with the pan sauce spooned on top. Garnish with more thyme.
