Recipe Details and Method

1 bag (1 kg) Caramelized Onion & Roasted Garlic Smash Em’s

2 cups (500 mL) whipping cream

1/4 cup (60 mL) water

2 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt

1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Parmesan cheese

Heat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Cut the Smash Em’s into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) slices and spread out evenly – including the onion and garlic in the bag – in a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking dish.

Combine the whipping cream, water, garlic and salt. Pour over the Smash Em’s and sprinkle with the cheese. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes until the cream has thickened and the top has browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Note: You can easily cut this recipe in half and bake in an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20 cm) baking dish.
