  5. Cook until browned; remove from the skillet and wipe the skillet with a paper towel.
  6. In a bowl, combine the cheese, panko, remaining black pepper, and oregano; stir in melted butter.
  7. In the skillet, combine the broth, wine, shallots, remaining garlic, and 1 sprig thyme.
  8. Spoon the sausage mixture into hollowed out onions and add to the skillet.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes then sprinkle with the panko/cheese mixture.
