Ingredients
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cracks freshly ground pepper
  • 4 ounces Roquefort, sliced into 4 equal slices

Instructions
  1. Butter four 1-cup gratin dishes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a skillet, melt the butter and cook onion on medium-low heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the sugar, turn up the heat to medium-high and cook until the onions turn golden brown and are caramelized.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, flour, milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Divide the onions in the bottoms of the gratin dishes, add a slice of cheese, gently pour the egg mixture over the top, and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and puffed. Serve immediately.
