Onion Creme Brulee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large white onions
1 egg yolk
50 g sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
50 ml heavy cream
1 slice bacon (cooked crisp & crumbled as garnish) (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200\u00b0C Peel onion, leaving the root-end intact. Cut the non-root end top from the onion & trim the root-end slightly to allow the onion shell to sit flat.
Remove as much of the inside pulp as poss w/o tearing the shell & set the onion top + inside pulp aside. Bake shell in the oven for 10 minute Do not turn off the oven.
Rough chop the onion top + inside pulp. In a non-stick skillet, combine the chopped onion w/sugar + cayenne pepper & simmer till soft. Add cream + egg yolk, stir to mix well & remove from heat.
Mound onion mixture into the onion shells & bake for 7 minute Allow to cool slightly, sprinkle w/crumbled bacon (if using) & serve immediately w/entree of choice.
NOTE: For those of you who might be put off by the process for preparing the onion shells, this can easily be prepared & served in ramekins.
