How to Tell It's Done
- until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges
- until fragrant
- until the cheese is bubbling
Tips
- Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
- Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
Common Mistakes
- Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
More Ways
- Wipe the caps with a damp cloth, snap off the mushroom stems, chop them and add to the pan with the onion; fill the caps, grate kashkaval and Parmesan and a few breadcrumbs on top, and bake in an oven preheated to 180–200°C (355–390°F) until the cheese bubbles and browns slightly.
