Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 mediums Sweet Spanish onions; (3- to 4 inch diameter each)
2 quarts Water
1 pack (10-oz) frozen chopped broccoli; cooked according to package directions (about 2 cups)
3 ounces Grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup Reduced-calorie mayonnaise

All-purpose flour
1 dash Salt
1½ cup Skim milk
3 ounces Monterey Jack cheese; shredded
¼ teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Peel onions and cut each through stem ends into halves (do not remove stem ends; they help to hold onion halves together). In 4-quart saucepan bring water to a boil; add onions. Reduce heat and let simmer until onions are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well. Scoop pulp from each onion half, leav-ing about a ½-inch-thick shell; reserve shells. Chop enough pulp to measure 1 cup; transfer chopped pulp to medium mixing bowl and add broccoli, Parmesan, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

In 10-inch skillet heat margarine until bubbly and hot; add flour and salt and stir quickly. Stirring, gradually add milk; bring just to a boil, Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring frequently, until smooth and thickened; add Monterey Jack and cook, stirring constantly, until melted.

Preheat oven to 3750F. Fill shells with onion mixture and set in 8 x 8 x 2-inch bak-ing dish. Top with sauce; sprinkle with paprika. Bake until sauce is bubbly, about 15 minutes.
