Ingredients
6 medium white or yellow onions (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut horizontally into 3 thick slices
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
Salt to taste
½ cup freshly grated imported Gruyere cheese
Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the onions. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. (The slices will separate.) Drain.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the onions with the cream and season generously with nutmeg and salt. Spoon into a shallow gratin dish. (The gratin can be prepared several hours in advance, up to this point. Reserve at room temperature.)
- Step 3
Preheat the broiler.
- Step 4
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the gratin, place under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately.
