Onion Gratin
After looking at the kind review of chef#296809, i have revised it and made it myself. a recipe adapted from the chilean fresh fruit association but with quite a few changes. the directions do not include the time to make the hard boiled eggs. if you love cooked onion, i hope you give this a try! dh and i think it is delicious. and a great way to use those leftover hard boiled eggs and bacon.
Steps
In a large size heavy skillet melt the butter and cook the onions over medium heat until soft , between 15 and 20 minutes , stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
You do not want the onions to be crunchy later.
Add flour , stirring , and cook about 1 minute.
Gradually stir in milk and cook 4 minutes.
Add cream , salt , and pepper.
Remove skillet from stove top and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 400f.
When oven is pre-heated , taste sauce and adjust with more salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences.
After taste adjustment , add 1 beaten egg to the cooled onion mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine.
Pour the onion sauce into a lightly sprayed pie dish.
Cover with layer of egg slices and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake until lightly browned , about 15 minutes-depends upon your oven.
Top with bacon crumbles.
Allow to set for 5 minutes so that it will set up and be easier to plate.
