Onion Gratin image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
3 cups onions, quartered and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup light cream
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten
3 hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced
1 cup gruyere cheese or 1 cup swiss cheese, grated
2 tablespoons bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled-or 4 strips

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 400*F.
  • When oven is pre-heated, taste sauce and adjust with more salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences (I like to add quite a bit more pepper).
  • 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.
