Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions: Yellow onions are the most common, but you can also use white, red, or shallots. Each type of onion has a slightly different flavor, so experiment to find your favorite.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When sautéing the onions, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the onions until they are translucent: This will take about 15 minutes over medium heat. Don't rush this step, as it's important to allow the onions to caramelize and develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the creamed onions. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't boil the cream: When adding the cream to the onions, be sure not to let it boil. This will cause the cream to curdle and the sauce will be ruined.
  • Season to taste: Once the creamed onions are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
