Saw this dish on a newsletter from Saveur and immediately thought, well heck, they are copying my recipe.
Saveur's Onion Gratin

Here’s my version –


Onion Gratin
Years ago this dish was called “Gourmet Onions,” but it always seemed too pretentious to me. It wasn’t long before family and friends referred to it as “Onion Gratin.” Serve it along side any meat or poultry ~ it compliments any meat dish.

3 large white onions cut in half and thinly sliced. (You’ll want 4 cups)
5 T. butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 425°F
Sauté onions in butter until transparent. Place them in a greased 1 1/2- to 2-quart au gratin dish or flat casserole.

Beat eggs until light and frothy; add sour cream, salt and pepper; mix together. Pour over onions and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serves 8.
---------------
I think I’ll try this by decreasing Parm and add some gorgonzola – I think it would be wonderful.

Like Roxanne, I will have to try this when there are lots of people around or William isn't here.

Hmmm, Gorgonzola? How about some Gruyere with Parm? Do you need a cheese that can crisp or a melty one?

I'd vote melty! Gruyere sounds great to me! I'm so glad I have to make a special into town for good cheese! Otherwise, I'd be in trouble!!!!!

melty - and just about any cheese will go with onions, so go wild! (I don't think I'd like MOzz, tho - not enough flavor.)
