SAVORY ONION CUSTARDS

www.eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com

3 cups thinly sliced sweet onions (I used one LARGE Walla Walla – it actually looked more like a bomb than an onion!)

1 tablespoon butter

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup half & half (use all milk if you’d like to reduce the calories even more)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Dash freshly grated nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh parsley

1 cup grated cheese – (whatever strikes your fancy)

2 tablespoons Parmesan

~

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray four 8-ounce ramekins (or a pie plate) with vegetable cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.

.

In a large skillet heat the butter and saute the onions, over medium heat, until just turning golden-brown. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, half & half, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley.

.

Divide the onions among the ramekins; sprinkle the grated cheese over the onions. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese – should just cover it. Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over and continue baking until done – about 12 minutes more. Serve warm. Makes 4 servings.
