Equipment
- 9 x 13 Ceramic Casserole Dish
- cheese grater optional
- kitchen scale optional
- nutmeg grater optional
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8-9 large sweet onions medium diced
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour plus more if needed
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 8 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175℃)
- Add the butter and olive to a large Dutch oven over medium/high heat to melt.

- Stir in the granulated sugar and allow it to melt (about 2-3 minutes).
- Stir in the flour. Stir and cook for an additional few minutes. The onions should become thick and pasty at this point. If not, add a little bit more flour.

- Carefully spoon the onion cheese mixture into a 5-6 quart casserole dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
- Cover the top of the onions with the panko bread crumbs and drizzle the top with the melted butter.
- Bake (uncovered) in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
