Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a stoveproof gratin dish over medium-high heat; add 4 pounds Vidalia onions (cut into wedges) and cook 5 minutes. Add a pinch each of nutmeg, cayenne, salt and black pepper, then add 3 tablespoons white wine and simmer 2 minutes. Whisk 1 1/4 cups half-and-half and 3 tablespoons flour; stir into the onions and bring to a boil. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the onion, cover with parchment paper and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and broil until golden, 5 more minutes.

I carmelize the onions for about 45 minutes. It’s my go to Vidalia side dish. So tasty.
This was delicious — I made is according to the recipe. I can’t wait to make it again!
Very good but added Parmesan
Meh.
This recipe is delicious! It was easy and such a great addition to our Easter dinner! Our entire family of 25 LOVED it! The only change I made was to use Italian bread crumbs with just a little grated romano reggiano. The leftovers are even better! Definitely a new family favorite!
I made this as a side dish for Easter last year, and it was very popular. The Panko bread crumbs burn really easily, so I had to scrape some of them off, but nobody noticed when I served the dish. Maybe I would try different bread crumbs next time. My aunt loved the recipe, and asked me to make it again.
Made this for Easter dinner as a side to roasted lamb. Would be delicious served with steak as well. I added Pecorino Romano cheese to the Panko bread mixture, which added more creaminess & flavor to the dish. The chives add a lovely color to the crust. I used the nutmeg and cayenne, but you could add other seasonings like fresh thyme or cumin. Delish!!
Tried this as a part of our Easter celebration. Only modification to the recipe was having to use yellow onions, as Vidalia’s were not in season. I only used 3 lbs. of onions. It took days to rid the house and my hands of the onion smell. This is a dish were the leftovers taste even better! Will make again, but try to half the recipe next time.
