    Source of Recipe

    Cooking Live

    List of Ingredients

    3 lb Onions, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

    White and pale green parts of 2 pounds (about 6) leeks, split lengthwise, washed well, and chopped

    1/2 lb Shallots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

    1/2 Stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
    1/4 c Heavy cream
    1 c Coarse fresh bread crumbs
    1 c Grated extra-sharp Cheddar, (about 1/4 lb)
    1/4 ts Paprika

    Recipe

    In a heavy kettle cook the onions, leeks, and shallots in the butter with salt and pepper to taste, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to moderately low, and cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 20 minutes more, or until they are soft. Remove the lid and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until the excess liquid is evaporated. The onion mixture may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Transfer the onion mixture to a 2-quart shallow baking dish and stir in the cream. In a small bowl toss together the bread crumbs and the Cheddar, sprinkle the mixture evenly onto the onion mixture, and dust it with the paprika. Bake the onion mixture in the middle of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is bubbly.

    Yield: 8 serving
