Frugal Gourmet'S Baked Onions Au Gratin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup romano cheese, for topping

Preparation

In two batches, saute the onion in the butter in a large frying pan. Cook only until limp. Do not brown or discolor.
Deglaze the pan, or remove the onion from the pan and pour sherry, scrapping the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve the brown, toasted onions.
Mix the onions, the sherry, nutmeg, salt, pepper and heavy cream together and place in a baking dish. Top with the Swiss and then Parmesan or Romano.
Bake at 350 until top is a bit brown and bubbling, 15 - 20 minutes.
