Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel the onions and cut the tops off to create a hollow space.

Boil the onions in salted water for 10 minutes until slightly tender.

Remove the onions and let them cool before handling.

Scoop out the insides of the onions, leaving a thin layer to hold the shape.

In a bowl, mix the scooped onion, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and parsley until well combined.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

Stuff each hollow onion with the cheese mixture, packing it tightly.

Top each stuffed onion with bread crumbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish and add a little water to the bottom to prevent burning.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Garnish with chopped green onions and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
