Four-Onion Gratin image

Leeks, shallots, onions and garlic combine to make a rich, delicious side dish. You can use jarred baby onions at step #3 and just not cook them for the additional 10 minutes as they are not frozen. This dish can be made a day ahead, just bring to room temperature before baking. One last thing, fresh grated Parmesan cheese is good on top along with the bread crumbs but is optional!
