Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1 large sweet onion
¼ teaspoon fine salt
2 pouches cornbread & muffin mix Betty Crocker™
2 large eggs
1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
¼ cup parsley chopped ; fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
2 tablespoons thyme leaves fresh ; chopped
1 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C (160°C fan-forced). Position a rack in the centre of the oven. Cut onion into 5 (1/2-inch thick) rings; keep the rings in place.
In a 10-inch (25cm) oven-safe cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Arrange the onion rings in a single layer in the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Using a wide spatula, gently flip the onion rings, keeping them intact as much as possible. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a large bowl, combine both pouches of cornbread mix, the eggs, and the milk. Stir until just combined — a few small lumps are fine. Fold in the Parmesan, mozzarella, parsley, and thyme until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter evenly over the onions in the skillet, spreading gently with a spatula to the edges. Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Run a butter knife around the edge of the skillet to loosen the cornbread. Let it cool in the skillet for 10 minutes.
Place a large serving plate or cutting board over the skillet. Wearing oven mitts, carefully and quickly invert the skillet onto the plate so the onion layer is on top. Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm.
