    Shirred Onions

    Recipe By : Sallie Y. Williams
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Vegetables

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 pounds onions -- sliced
    6 slices bacon -- fried until crisp,
    -- drained on paper
    -- towels, and crumbled
    3/4 cup heavy cream
    salt -- to taste
    freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
    3/4 cup Gruyere cheese -- grated
    or Comte or Emmenthal cheese
    3 tablespoons fresh chives -- snipped

    Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and pale golden brown, up to 30 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

    Divide the onions between 6 small shirred egg dishes or 3-inch ramekins. Sprinkle each serving with some of the bacon. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the cream. Season well with salt and pepper. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese over each serving. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve very hot, garnished with the snipped chives.

    Variation: Replace the bacon with 6 anchovy fillets, rinsed, dried, and chopped if you like the flavor.
