Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for creamed onions, as they have a milder flavor than red onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Add the cream and milk: Once the onions are caramelized, add the cream and milk and bring to a simmer.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Creamed onions are best served immediately, while they are still hot and creamy.
