Season with salt; cut into pieces.

Steps:

• 1. Using very low heat, saute onions in butter in a large covered skillet for 30 minutes. Onions should brown a bit and carmelize. Cool onions.
• 2. In a mixing bowl beat together milk and eggs, stir in cooled onions, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into a buttered casserole dish and bake at 325 degrees until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes.

Steps:

• Saute onions in the butter, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft& golden Let onions cool to room temp.
• Meanwhile whisk the eggs, milk& egg yolk together, add salt, nutmeg& pepper Stir in the cooked onions, mix well.
• Pour into an oven proof buttered dish (1 1/2 qt size).
• Bake at 325F for 40-50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted in the center Sprinkle with chives serve hot.

Steps:

• Halve onions from top to bottom. Resting on the cut side slice thinly into half circles. Measure out 6 cups. Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat; when foam subsides add the onions. Cover and cook, over medium low heat, until wilted, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often and adjusting heat so that onions brown slowly, until the onions are a dark golden brown and very tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the chopped thyme, salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Select 6 (5-ounce) custard cups; brush generously with softened butter. Arrange in a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Set a kettle of water on to boil. Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat until small bubbles appear around the edges. In a large bowl whisk the eggs and egg yolks until blended. Slowly add the hot milk, whisking gently until blended. Place a strainer over a large measuring cup with a pouring spout and strain the custard. Using a tongs distribute distribute the Sauteed onions evenly among the 6 custard cups (they should be about 1/4 filled). Add the custard, distributing evenly. Run a knife through the custards so that the custard will seep through the layer of onion.
• Place the baking pan in the oven and carefully pour hot water into the pan until it is 1-inch up sides of the cups. Bake until custards are lightly browned and set, about 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and using a spatula and protecting your hand with a pot-holder remove the custard cups from the water to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave or wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven.

Steps:

• Saute the onions in the butter about 5 minute over medium-high heat until transparent but not browned.
• Mix eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Stir in the onions.
• Turn into a 1-quart buttered baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minute or until custard is set.
• Sprinkle with paprika or parsley.
• Serve immediately.
• Serve any leftover casserole by frying slices of the chilled custard in butter. Top with additional cheese and serve with a crouton of toasted bread.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Boil potatoes for 15 mins until tender, then drain well and smash a little. Cool slightly.
• Mix the cheese, cayenne and onions with the smashed potatoes and stir to make a mouldable filling. Roll out the pastry to a rectangle about 25 x 35cm. Carefully lift onto a baking sheet and brush all over with beaten egg.
• Press the cheese mix along one of the long sides of the pastry, leaving 2cm pastry free on one side for sealing, and half of the pastry empty on the other side for folding over later. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together, before trimming with a knife and sealing well by pressing the edges with a fork.
• Brush with egg and bake for 30 mins. Cool, then slice and serve with caramelised red onions. Can be made 1 day ahead
