8 slices of bacon
Olive oil (for drizzling)

Steps to Culinary Bliss

Now that we have our ingredients, let’s get cooking! Here are the clear, simple steps to whip up this delectable dish:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and toasty for our roasted onions. Trust me, your kitchen will smell amazing before you know it!
Peel the onions and cut off the ends, but be careful not to slice too far into them. We want them to stay intact for wrapping. Picture tiny, onion-shaped treasure chests ready to be stuffed with deliciousness!
Wrap each onion with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed. Don’t worry if some bacon hangs over—more crispy goodness for you!
Drizzle the wrapped onions with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Another step to mouthwatering perfection!
Place the onions on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the onions are tender. Keep an eye on them—you’re aiming for golden perfection!

Whipping Up the Creamy Asiago Sauce

While your onions are taking a luxurious swim in the oven, let’s make that creamy sauce that will turn this dish into a culinary masterpiece.

In a saucepan, over medium heat, pour in the heavy cream and let it warm up. This is the part where your kitchen starts smelling like a cozy Italian bistro.
Add the Asiago cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. If your sauce looks a little lumpy, just give it some love with a whisk—don’t worry, it’s all part of the magic!
Once your sauce is dreamy and creamy (like a good romantic comedy), remove it from heat and set it aside.
